@weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml I like Probelnijs: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Probelnijs/diary/402796
Yes, the “Street” in OSM is historical and rather wrong now. We can’t rename it to OpenMap?
There are a lot of trademarks, no-one knows the meaning: RTL BVB …
So it’s no problem to use “OSM” without referencing to the full name.
We should split our appearance. Two different Web portals with different functions:
#OpenStreetMap.org - for the Editing and Coding community
#OSM.org - for the Map/Data users
1/x
@weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml 2/x
There also should be an OSM-App! (Android, iOS, Desktop)
And the apps and osm.org should be alike, mostly.
Ok, OSM only offers editors, no map use. But there are >2 FOOS apps, doing it: #OrganicMaps, #MapLibre, …
Could we “merge” projects to an OSM-app? Or setup a new one, supported by the existing teams? Sure, redundant apps are needed. But >2 parents could merge the best genes to a better offspring.
@karlos @weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml I agree with most of this. But it shatters the philosophy of many of the interests that control OSM. There are consulting companies and more that profit off OSM being difficult to use, and needing an insider expert to get map tiles or apps made. OSM would need to become a product oriented team with executive leadership and get away from being a semi anarchy that is only interested in mapping (which is excellent) and not in usability/proliferation
@karlos
Actually, there’s an “OSM App”: https://osmapp.org , which bills itself as the “universal OpenStreetMap app.” 😉
@weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
@MapAmore @weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
It‘s an Web-App (only). I like Web-Apps. So it should be at osm.org . Is it curated by a working group?
The crowd also expects native apps in all app stores!
The start does not look like me/we are used to.
It looks like a good start.

@karlos @weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml “Imagine if Google’s maps were called something like ‘Google Highways Maps’” - yes, that would be a more accurate name. Google Maps is pretty crap at walking and cycling routes. A fair number of them are simply absent altogether.
