To verify, yes.
It’s against Google Maps’ ToS (Terms of Service) however to use its exact coordinates for anything outside of Google Maps. This is mostly to prevent others from using exact information (map or otherwise,) and then compete against them.
Sure thing.
On OpenStreetMap (OSM) there are four main things you can do.
Mapping: Trace features like roads, buildings, waterways, and land use from satellite imagery
Editing: Update existing map data to reflect changes, such as new roads or buildings.
Validation: Check and correct errors in the map data to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Tagging: Add detailed information to map features, such as names, types, and other attributes.
All of these can be achieved via OSM’s web app.
Here is the Beginners’ guide if you want more info.
I’d be willing to answer your questions if you had any. And I’m sure others that map edit for OSM would be willing to do the same.
That’s really cool. How did you get started as a volunteer EMT?
I know that this might present a feeling of trolling or annoyance, but I take my hat off to Cart Narcs for taking it even further, to call out these people.
Oh heck yeah! Help fellow editor. =)
Come join us if you haven’t. Even if you only have 10-15 minutes to do something, it all helps in the end. There are plenty of things to do and no pressure for you to do all of them or even most of them.
Can we just move on from the US 2024 election?
Yeah sure. Just find someone who can put me in a medical coma, and I’ll ‘forget’ all about it.
Sexism and it makes it seem like it’s just one person vs a group of people. By that I mean, that your family is a group of people.
I’m all for this.
‘No daughter of mine is going out on a date without a full set of protection!’
I didn’t watch it, but I saw the trailer for Moonfall and I had a lot of WTF moments just watching that. A lot of ‘there’s no way that’s how it would actually work.’
I just need one.
I agree that the main reason for them is to prevent breaking your neck in an accident. But I have to ask… Why not make something that allows for both? Surely we can make something that helps ease our neck and shoulder muscles for long drives and prevent us from snapping our necks in a car accident from in front or back of us. No?
I’m pretty sure nearly all of them didn’t get a consensual invite.
Where would you place your ‘badassary’ on the scale today?
Oof! That’s alright. There’s always tomorrow or the next, to feel like a badass in some capacity.
Oh nice! What made you feel like a 6 on the badass scale?
You got this!
