A great example where El Goog follows the money trail i.e. not making them any money, so therefore no map data. Full stop.https://framapiaf.org/@arden/102337234188116148

Oh my, mapping George Town, Penang is some sort of a challenge. I rather preserve things, but this time I have to delete things to make edits as a piece of cake.https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/78239090

#MissingMaps, but with Google: https://maps.google.com/roadmapper/u/0/aboutYeah, volunteer for for-profit corporate, because, why not. At this rate, might as well get rights (from one's own pockets) to proprietary databases for the sake of it.

Remote mapping in Sarawak, Malaysia might include adding longhouses.Street level cams may be useful: these provide names of these longhouses.

To evangelise OpenStreetMap in Malaysia, I reckon a snippet of the free/libre culture is important to explain how OSM works.Too many times I caught people updated street names in OSM from proprietary sources (don't really have to guess which one).Some Malaysians (?) thought the "open"ness in OSM is the freedom to not respecting copyrights.P.S. piracy over here is... uh, might stay high for many years to come. OTOH works made in MY produced under Creative Commons is not readily available...

@vfrmedia In terms of culture (music, especially), well, IMHO, at least that explains why artists would perform in worldwide tours, especially in Europe. That's a sure way to turn a lot of bucks compared to licencing broadcasts.

@BalooUriza @Doudouosm If you're okay with OpenStreetCam...?Well, I own a cheap action cam. I used to collect my own silo of street level photos but never share them.(I don't have a wired Internet connection, too cheap for it... so that's why I don't upload them)

@BalooUrizaNoIt does feel like throwing consistency out of the door. Some have names (those without Wikidata entries), while some others don't.

I was having trouble with JOSM on my Ubuntu Desktop last time. I apparently missed the part that there's a repo specially for JOSM.Added the repo and ta-da! Removed the headaches from kicking out Oracle Java (then replaced with OpenJDK) and JOSM ran well again.I used to screw up JOSM Webstart on a Windows (8?) box, .jar files will work as intended, but let's cut it short... I'm happy to stick with GNU/Linux for 2 years.

"How Lyft discovered OpenStreetMap is the Freshest Map for Rideshare"... would be fresher than fresh, IF these OSM-using corporates would rather somehow made their (spring cleaned first-hand for privacy reasons) data to mappers. Alas!#OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/clarecorthell/diary/395739

I'm not sure what's really going on with Copernicus Open Access Hub really.Thought Firefox is causing me problems, so I tried downloading with GNOME Web. Same problem.Either a blank page, or "XML parsing error". It's been a few days really.

Someone distributed #JOSM on the Microsoft Store, with a price tag (of US$4.69) with a slight typo ("OpenStreet Map Editor") *I'm brutally clenching my teeth*.The actual developers of JOSM thought it might carry something else as well.https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/22452

The saga continues... here's the app's description:"OpenStreet Map Editor is a powerful yet relatively user-friendly application that aims to assist you in editing portions of maps."🆗✅ but 😡💢 at the slight incorrect mention of 'OpenStreet Map'. Grrr..."It enables you to plan ahead for a trip, for instance, and emphasize locations you need to reach."❓🤔 Wha...(1/x)

"The maps can be displayed using a variety of view modes, including ‘Bing Aerial Imagery’, ‘Mapbox Satellite’, ‘MapQuest Open Arial’, ‘OpenStreetMap (Mapnik)’, ‘BANO’, ‘Cadastre’ and several more."🤦 oh dear! MapQuest?! Open Arial?! What on earth are these incoherent sentences that I have read?!The sly swindler seems haven't got the slightest clue of the JOSM application and the nature of OpenStreetMap project.Absolute dishonest person. With bonus of getting possible malware too.(2/2 end)
