Butler has to be the smallest place I’ve mapped. From the buildings and traces of sidewalks that are visible but now overgrown with trees and grass it’s clear this was once a more populated area. The Day County GIS shows that properties to the eastern side of the town were owned by a railroad. The properties in the center and western ends are mostly held in trusts — children and perhaps grandchildren of former residents.

According to the UnmappedSmallTownUSA bot that posts about towns needing mapping, the population is 13. Wikipedia lists the 2020 Census as 4.

How many planet trails are there in Switzerland? A planet trail (chemin des planètes, sentiero dei pianeti, Planetenweg, via da planets) is a walking route that represents the Solar System to scale, with stations marking each planet’s position. OpenStreetMap currently shows about two dozen.

List

Here is the current list:

• Aargau
• Arosa
• Bülach
• Burgdorf-Wynigen
• Disentis-Sedrun
• Effretikon-Kyburg
• Emmen
• Falera-Laax
• Frauenfeld
• Kreuzlingen Nord
• Kreuzlingen Süd
• Lägern
• Laufen BL
• Locarno
• Marly
• Monte Generoso
• Ringgenberg-Goldswil
• Ringgenberg-Oberried
• Schwanden/Sirius
• Solothurn Weissenstein
• St-Luc
• St. Gallen
• St. Stephan
• Visp
• Zürich Uetliberg

The same as overpass query

There is one along the Swiss border at Vaduz.

State of mapping

How detailed is our cartography?

• All stations mapped: Bülach, Effretikon-Kyburg, Falera-Laax, Frauenfeld, Kreuzlingen Süd, Lägern, Locarno, Marly, Monte Generoso (?), St. Gallen, St-Luc, St. Stephan, Vaduz, Visp, Weissenstein, Zürich Uetliberg
• Some or most stations mapped: Aargau, Burgdorf-Wynigen, Emmen, Kreuzlingen Nord, Laufen BL, Ringgenberg (both), Schwanden/Sirius
• Only a single node mapped: Arosa
• Entirely missing: ?

We have a couple of lonely Pluto nodes that haven’t made it into a trail yet: 1, 2.

For OSM tags on these features, see the wiki pages about:

• Tag:educational=planet_trail
• Tag:board_type=planet_walk

Planets

Which Solar System objects are included? A typical sequence is: Sun → Mercury → Venus → Earth → Mars → Jupiter → Saturn → Uranus → Neptune

Most trails predate 2006 and include Pluto, and some even show it at more than one position. Currently, we can find 22 Plutos.

Some of the following can be included:

• asteroid belt
• Ceres
• Halley’s comet
• separate models for moons

One hiker complained that most planets are, unsurprisingly, clustered near the start of the trail. Multiple positions of Pluto and comets help alleviate this, providing landmarks on what would otherwise be a long, empty walk.

For many trails, the nearby observatory of the astronomical society that created the trail serves as additional point of interest. A few trails are school projects (notably Disentis, St. Stephan).

Scale

What scale do the trails use? For the distances between the stations, the scale is generally 1:1,000,000,000 (one billion or milliard). At this scale, the Sun–Pluto distance produces a trail roughly 6 km long.

The planet models may use the same scale as the distances, or they may be enlarged for visibility.

Other scales found:

• 1:10,000,000,000 (Monte Generoso)
• 1:5,000,000,000 (Bülach)
• 1:4,000,000,000 (Falera)
• 1:2,800,000,000 (Arosa)
• 1:900,000,000 (Disentis)

At the 1:1,000,000,000 scale:

• 1 metre on the trail represents 1 million km
• Earth is represented by a sphere approximately 1.3 cm in diameter
• Neptune is about 4.5 km from the Sun
• Pluto is about 5.9-6 km from the Sun

Route types

A few are arranged as round trips (Marly, Frauenfeld), but many follow a roughly linear route away from the Sun.

Kreuzlingen and Ringgenberg have trails extending in two different directions from their starting areas.

Some routes are mostly flat, while others climb or descend.

Maintenance

An important consideration is when the trails were last maintained. Occasionally signs and models need to be replaced.

As some trails have been mapped in OSM for many years, it’s possible that they no longer exist.

Some entries use start_date to record the original installation date or, in some cases, the date of a later renewal.

Coverage elsewhere

The Swiss Astronomical Society has a list on its website. It includes trails at Landquart, Mollis, Lumino and Le Locle that are not mapped. Astro Ticino lists 3 (or 4), this list includes 2.

Trekky.ch lists 8 trails, while the Map includes 3 of them. The other 5 aren’t described much elsewhere.

Local tourist offices and municipalities feature trails in Vallorbe, Le Locle-Les Brenets, Landquart, Lumino, Morgins and Willisau.

Wikipedia lists 2 in English, 1 in French, 3 in Italian, 20/21 in German and 6 in pictures. A few trails also have individual articles. The Willisau-Schötz and Landquart trails do not appear to be included in our Map.

About us

• Next week we will launch our completely revamped website; an exciting milestone for us! With Hugo as our new framework, a self-hosted commenting system (Remark42), and our own Listmonk server for managing mailing lists, we’ve modernised our publishing workflow and automated key processes. The source code is available, along with the complete archive in Markdown format, in the FOSSGIS GitLab repository. Cross your fingers for a smooth transition.

Mapping campaigns

• [1] After almost 15 years, mappers in the US state of Ohio have finished mapping the boundaries of all 1,309 townships there. The community overcame a lack of accurate, authoritative, external datasets by reconciling a variety of sources. Work remains to clean up and update municipal boundaries, which often influence township boundaries.

Community

• Walid Nouh has interviewed members of the OpenStreetMap France board on the Projets Libres podcast. The episode’s guests were asked to talk about OSM-FR, who they are, what the association does, and its current activities.

• Because there were three votes against the Lgbtq=* proposal without a reason being provided (see the discussion on the OSM Community forum about it), Spughetti, the author of the proposal, has written a proposal to introduce a strict requirement to provide a valid reason to vote against a proposal. The reactions on some posts show a split in the community. This is not a good sign for a proposal required to pass the 75% requirement in the voting phase.

Imports

• Imports of boundary and cadastral datasets in Belgium and France have more than doubled the size of OpenHistoricalMap since the beginning of August. The new data skews OHM more heavily toward recent decades but gives contributors more opportunities to improve historical coverage based on present-day features.

OpenStreetMap Foundation

• The OpenStreetMap Foundation is inviting you to its 20th Annual General Meeting, being held on Saturday 17 October 2026 at 16:00 UTC. The meeting will take place online. The agenda includes apologies for absences, the minutes of the previous Annual General Meeting, reports from the Chair, the Treasurer and the Personnel Committee, the election of the Board, and any other business.

Events

• At the 2026 Ukrainian Urban Forum ‘After Nature’, held in Cherkasy, a dedicated discussion focused on GIS and crowdsourced geospatial data for communities. Fedir Gontsa, a member of the Ukrainian OpenStreetMap community, spoke about the project and showed how micromapping can help cities collect data on accessibility, green spaces, and other features of the urban environment.

Maps

• OsmAnd has published an experimental heatmap similar to Strava Heatmaps but based on GPX traces uploaded by mappers to the OSM API.

• Roni Lindholm made wayside.cc, an OpenStreetMap-powered web map that displays small points of interest that are hard to find elsewhere, such as public toilets, drinking water, playgrounds, post boxes, luggage lockers, shelters and more.

• Wynndale has argued in favour of moving OSM away from the Mercator projection, as modern processors have long been capable of rendering vector tiles in any projection. Mercator not only distorts sizes, but also causes the scale to vary between zoom levels depending on latitude, and creates a gap around 1,000 km wide at both poles. As alternatives, he suggests geographical coordinates with cosine scaling for large-scale maps, as well as area-preserving projections such as Equal Earth, and further illustrated the principle using an orthographic globe view.

OSM in action

• Der Spiegel used OpenStreetMap as its map base to display election results in Berlin’s individual constituencies.

• Geht-Doch Wien, Walk-Space, and Radlobby created ► a map to visualise potential locations for public seating in Vienna, based on OpenStreetMap data. This map shows how seating at regular intervals can support independent mobility for people with mobility impairments, with seating every 100 metres recommended for an inclusive and barrier-free city.

• The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) maintains UN/LOCODE (United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations), a global UN/CEFACT standard for codes relating to trade and transport locations, which is freely available under a CC BY 4.0 licence. The codes can be searched via the online directory, and the list is also available as a SKOS vocabulary in Turtle format. Interested parties can submit requests for changes and new entries via a Data Maintenance Request. The maintenance team decides on these requests at regular meetings, which are open to the public. The new platform uses OpenStreetMap to display the registered coordinates and Nominatim for search.

Software

• Chris Debian reported that Mapilio Mobile, a mobile app for turning photos into street-level imagery and map data, is now open source.

• Sanjay Bhangar has noted that osm-seed moved out of the Development Seed GitHub org and into its own home at github.com/osm-seed. The change reflects how the project is actually being used and maintained today.

• Peter has built a maxheight editor that makes contributing maxheight data more interesting as it calculates the chance of an important bridge-related restriction. The editor also makes it also easier for armchair mappers as it displays Mapillary signs and street images from various open services.

• HeiGIT released two analysis tools based on shadow data to support active mobility during summer months. The hiShade plugin in the Climate Action Navigator shows how shade is distributed across a neighbourhood. The shadow routing application calculates pedestrian routes that keep people out of the sun.

Programming

• Timothé Baleras, Martin Constantino-Bodin, and Ugo Comignani developed Cosmetyc, a library for manipulating OpenStreetMap data in OCaml. The development of this library led to an article, presented at the 37th Francophone Conference on Applied Languages.

• Jesse Back said on LinkedIn that he cold emailed 1,000+ German farmers by using satellite data to estimate how many hectares of land they work. You can watch the video on YouTube, where he explains his workflow in more detail, which includes OpenStreetMap and Overpass API.

Did you know that …

• … map projections seem to be having a moment? Tobias Jung has a website where you can view 355 different projections and compare between them. You can also read Tobias’ 2018 review of the Equal Earth projection.

OSM in the media

• Heise has published a YouTube video about OSM-based alternatives to Google Maps.

Other “geo” things

• Ben Joffe has developed an equal-area projection that uses simple closed-form functions in the forward and inverse directions. By adjusting parameters a map can seamlessly transition to Mercator when zooming in. The method also can be used as a new compromise cylindrical projection that also transitions to Mercator when zooming in.

• Pinlyx has analysed the Turkish website data from the Overture Maps Foundation Places dataset, which contains no OpenStreetMap data, to check how many business websites remain accessible. Their analysis found that of the 685,343 Turkish business websites listed, 271,566 websites did not respond, and 164,281 no longer resolved to anything.

• London Centric reported how drug dealers in London are using Google Maps to advertise themselves by hijacking searches for pharmacies.

• Sebastian Gräff, from The European Correspondent, has published a map that shows where the concert genres of Europe perform (excluding ‘pop’) and asked the reader ‘Europe hosts over 125,000 concerts a year. Who’s playing where?’.

• Yandex.Maps has started embedding ads in its free map widgets that are used on many sites. In the comments, there was discussion of alternatives, including self-hosting using OSM. However, some users noted that most of the alternatives require technical training and reading documentation, which is quite difficult for owners of small websites.

This weeklyOSM was produced by MatthiasMatthias, Nakaner, Raquel Dezidério Souto, Strubbl, Andrew Davidson, barefootstache, derFred.
We welcome link suggestions for the next issue via this form and look forward to your contributions.

Today I was able to participate in a Zoom meeting for the OSM Africa Mapathon where I was able to get more in depth training on mapping and I was able to finish tasks #699, #769, #784 but I still left them to be looked at by mappers more skilled than myself. Along with that we did a Kahoot with questions on OSM. I learned a lot and I hope I’m able to do something similar soon. I also hope from now on I’ll find the time to work on even more projects with my new found skills.

Yesterday I had a call with the coordinator of Unique Mappers Network after trying to reach out for 2 weeks. This is a very exciting moment for me as I’ve been wanting to volunteer for Unique Mappers Network for a while due to my interest in urban planning and development. Along with my want to volunteer to build a portfolio for my further education as I am still in senior secondary two. I hope that I can develop my mapping skills even further and help both my community and those internationally.

We maintain NoEscape 2.0 (https://nemap.fyi/), a public map built from Ukraine’s open court registry: decisions describing border-crossing attempts (mostly article 204-1) are geocoded and published as derived points - never exact coordinates, never personal data.

Overview of derived detention-case clusters, 2022-2026. Points are aggregated from court texts; no exact locations or personal data. Map data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors; basemap (c) CARTO / HOT per layer; screenshot (c) NoEscapeMap (nemap.fyi), 2026.

Three mapping-side notes: 1. Geocoding uses oblast boundaries plus border-sign numbers with distances from decision texts; settlements are the fallback. Cases without any anchor stay off the map - incompleteness is explicitly stated, not hidden.

For more than 2 weeks now, Somtochukwu has been passionately following up for an orientation and integration as a volunteer at Unique Mappers Network. He is currently a Senior Secondary School 2 student in Lagos and has reached out to Unique Mappers to volunteer and map unmapped areas in OpenStreetMap. I am so excited to have him at this orientation so he can proceed to contribute to the OpenStreetMap project. Please . join me to welcome Somtochukwu to the world of OpenStreetMap as he signs up for a username and starts mapping !!!

Entrada de nom de la casa de Can Ponç

hello! this is a basic draft to work on a possible import of static elevator/escalator data from the MTA largely to support potential work to show live availability data in Transitous. this will be set up as a MapRoulette challenge - naturally verifying the MTA data will be quite important so it’d be best not to do this as a ‘blind’ import

there’s a good chance this gets converted into a wiki page later but for now it’ll be planned here :-)

Tonight’s London pub meet-up is at the Blue Posts. An old favourite!

Last time I said I was going to be adventurous with pub choices, and we went to The Albert in Victoria. I’m sorry I didn’t bother writing down any notes about interesting OpenStreetMap discussions from the evening. Rest assured many interesting OpenStreetMap discussions were discussed. My diary entry last time was just about pub choices, and this one will be no different!

Actually I do remember there was a lot of conversation about delivering election leaflets, since we had at least three different people in attendance who do a lot of campaigning, and using OpenStreetMap for that. It’s quite a nice use of OSM since you can boost the addressing coverage in the area of interest, and then use it, and then fix issues while using it, in a nice localised virtuous circle, and the use involves visiting every address, so perfect for filling in any map gaps.

So this was a new pub, and it worked pretty well. I decided to follow a theory I had, that pubs can be less overcrowded and more pleasant when they are further away from tube stations. The Albert pub was about half way between Victoria and Westminster tubes. Not sure it really worked in terms of avoiding the crowds, but it was spacious enough upstairs. There was a very big screen showing the wimbledon which we had to try not be distracted by.

I described this “further away from tube stations” theory to Matt Amos, and he crunched the numbers, rendered the maps, and dedicated a entire geomob talk investigating the “Watering Holes of inaccessibility” concept, including comparing OSMLondon pub choices over the past 18 years to conclude that we do indeed tend to go to pubs which are relatively far from tube stations!

Not always though. One of the pubs we’ve been to many times is The Blue Posts on Newman Street. This one is 363 metres from the Tottenham Court Road tube station. Pretty close. Certainly it always felt very central, but I suppose it is actually almost equidistant to Oxford Circus.

We haven’t been back there in quite a long time because we decided Sam Smiths pubs are a bit weird and we should maybe take our business elsewhere. They’re opposed to mobile phones and social media sharing, which could be inconvenient for tech meet-up! And as organisation they have a track record of making annoying cantankerous decisions. This seems largely thanks to their annoying cantankerous boss, Humphrey Smith. But he died recently, so maybe it’s time to forgive and forget, or at least see how they’re getting on. Maybe they’ll have done away with all those dusty traditional ideas, and strung up TVs in all the corners! Or maybe we’ll be getting there before that enevitably happens. In any case, I’m quite looking forward to going back to this old favourite, maybe just this once.

See you there tonight? All the details on the wiki

aqui está o vídeo mostrando como usar a plataforma de Mapeamento Colaborativo de Bairros com dados derivados do CNEFE / IBGE 2022 no Openstreetmap usando o Editor JOSM.

PASSO A PASSO:

🗺️ Mapeamento Colaborativo de Bairros no Openstreetmap usando a ferramenta de Mapeamento com dados derivadas dos dados do CNEFE / IBGE 2022.

Contribua para melhorar o mapa da sua cidade

A plataforma derivada dos dados do CNEFE / IBGE 2022. — Mapeamento Colaborativo de Bairros** permite que a comunidade participe do mapeamento e ajude a organizar informações importantes sobre os bairros das cidades brasileiras.

Você pode escolher uma cidade, selecionar uma área para mapear e utilizar o JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap Editor) para adicionar as informações ao OpenStreetMap.

🌐 Acesse a plataforma:

https://cnefe.mapaslivre.com.br/bairros.php

🚀 Como começar a mapear

1️⃣ Acesse a plataforma derivada dos dados do CNEFE / IBGE 2022.

Primeiro, acesse a página de mapeamento de bairros:

https://cnefe.mapaslivre.com.br/bairros.php

Na plataforma, você encontrará as cidades e áreas disponíveis para o mapeamento colaborativo.

2️⃣ Faça login com sua conta do OpenStreetMap

Para participar do mapeamento, é necessário possuir uma conta no OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Faça login utilizando sua conta do OpenStreetMap.

Caso ainda não tenha uma conta, você pode criar uma gratuitamente no OpenStreetMap.

3️⃣ Escolha a cidade

Depois de entrar na plataforma, escolha a cidade onde deseja realizar o mapeamento.

A plataforma apresentará as áreas disponíveis para contribuição.

Escolha uma cidade que você conheça ou uma região onde deseja colaborar.

4️⃣ Escolha uma área para mapear

Após selecionar a cidade, escolha uma das áreas disponíveis.

Clique na área que deseja mapear para visualizar as informações e identificar o local que será trabalhado no JOSM.

📍 Escolha uma área por vez para facilitar a organização do trabalho e evitar que diferentes colaboradores trabalhem na mesma área simultaneamente.

🖥️ 5️⃣ Abra o JOSM

Agora abra o JOSM — Java OpenStreetMap Editor no seu computador.

O JOSM é um editor avançado utilizado para criar e modificar dados do OpenStreetMap.

Com o JOSM aberto, baixe ou abra a área correspondente ao local que você escolheu na plataforma CNEFE.

📍 6️⃣ Crie o ponto no local escolhido

No JOSM, localize a área selecionada na plataforma.

Em seguida:

1. Selecione a ferramenta de criação de pontos.
2. Clique no local correspondente ao bairro.
3. Crie um novo ponto.
4. Selecione o ponto criado.
5. Adicione as informações correspondentes ao bairro.

O ponto será utilizado para identificar o bairro no OpenStreetMap.

🏷️ 7️⃣ Copie as tags da plataforma derivada dos dados do CNEFE / IBGE 2022.

Na plataforma CNEFE, serão apresentadas as tags que devem ser utilizadas no OpenStreetMap.

Copie as tags indicadas para o bairro que está sendo mapeado.

No JOSM, cole essas informações no painel de propriedades/tags do objeto.

As tags são importantes porque permitem que os dados sejam identificados corretamente dentro da estrutura do OpenStreetMap.

🔎 8️⃣ Confira o mapeamento

Antes de enviar os dados, confira cuidadosamente:

✅ Se o ponto está na localização correta ✅ Se o bairro corresponde à área selecionada ✅ Se as tags foram preenchidas corretamente ✅ Se não existe outro objeto duplicado ✅ Se as informações estão de acordo com a realidade local

A qualidade dos dados é muito importante para manter o OpenStreetMap atualizado e confiável.

☁️ 9️⃣ Envie os dados para o OpenStreetMap

Depois de finalizar o mapeamento, utilize a opção Enviar dados do JOSM.

O JOSM solicitará uma mensagem de comentário da alteração (changeset comment).

Informe uma descrição clara do trabalho realizado, por exemplo:

Mapeamento colaborativo de bairros — derivadas dos dados do CNEFE / IBGE 2022

Depois, envie os dados para o OpenStreetMap.

🎉 Pronto!

Sua contribuição agora fará parte do mapa colaborativo mundial do OpenStreetMap.

🤝 Mapeie, colabore e transforme sua cidade

O mapeamento colaborativo permite que moradores, estudantes, pesquisadores, organizações e voluntários contribuam para melhorar as informações geográficas de suas cidades.

Cada contribuição ajuda a construir uma base de dados geográfica mais completa e acessível.

Você conhece sua cidade. Você pode ajudar a mapeá-la. Você pode contribuir com o OpenStreetMap.

This is just a reminder for myself on what to focus on to improve OSM-based navigation

This is the link to the blog post that goes in-depth on how CoMaps and OsmAnd take penalties into account when deciding how long a route will take and which route is the best/most efficient.

• Traffic Lights (Create a controlled junction and add necessary time penalties)
• Highway tags (Create uncontrolled junctions and add necessary time penalties)(Ex: Stop signs, yield signs, unmarked crossings, marked crossings)
• Traffic Calming features (From Least to Highest impact: rumble_strip, island, cushion, chicane, choker, table, bump, hump) Make sure they have a direction=* tag to mark the correct way affected.
• Pedestrian Crossings
• Barriers such as gates

Remember to add the direction=* tag to most of these!
