I'm new to Organic Maps @organicmaps and I really like it. I think it can be a really good alternative to Gmaps, which is owned by big tech Google. I also start contributing new places there. However, I have one major concern: if anyone can contribute and modify data of places, how can the users and contributors protect the data from getting vandalized?

Still exploring OpenStreetMap data with this map of sundials in Europe.
#openstreetmap

There are in fact many more sundials. If you know one around you, please mark it on on https://www.openstreetmap.org/

Well... is it a map of sundials or a map of OSM contributors?🤔 Anyway, congratulations to northern Italy!

#TIL about this awesome interactive tool to explore toponyms in #GreatBritain called Grep Britain. 🇬🇧

(And for anything more complex and worldwide, there’s #OverpassAPI via #OverpassTurbo or #OverpassUltra using #OpenStreetMap data.)

For Decades, Cartographers Have Been Hiding Covert Illustrations Inside of Switzerland’s Official Maps.

https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/for-decades-cartographers-have-been-hiding-covert-illustrations-inside-of-switzerlands-official-maps/

"As Juerg Gilgen, a current cartographer at Swisstopo, told me “as a matter of fact, the proof-reader is also just a human being prone to failure. And cartographers are also just human beings trying to fool around.”"

Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

I’m back with my #maps of #Gaza today hahahaha.

I found this very interesting #map that shows the extent of the problem with the yellow line, as part of Trump’s truce agreement.

My family is currently staying in an apartment very close to the yellow line. We can hear shelling and gunfire and the sound of drones all day every day, it’s more exhausting and stressful than words can express.
