Today, I finalised an #osm mapping project.

I never thought that I would be able to contribute anything besides minor updates here and there to #openstreetmap. But then there was this park area which was reconstructed close to my home. And and nobody had picked this up yet, I added this park to my morning run and was able to update the map bit by bit:
Paths, benches, waste bins, fitness stations, courts, individual objects on the playground, … we should have a good basis now.

Interesting discussions go along with such an exercise. I learned a lot.

Screenshot of an activity tracker like you might know it from GitHub. No activities in December,m and January. After that activity increases more and more.

Christine Thürmer mit einem rant darüber dass #Komoot und #Outdooractive #OSM Daten gratis hernehmen und teuer weiter verkaufen. Stattdessen lobt sie das #waymarkedtrails Projekt.

Knowing the type of non-standard houses is very useful: they're often distinctive, may be difficult to sell, or get a mortgage and represent a particular period in British social history. Some councils have published.lists, largely collated by the BISF house website nonstandardhouse.com.

Chris Matthews has a self-guided walk showing a good range of such houses in Bilborough, Nottingham: christopherpaulmatthews.co.uk/.

Mapping them (obviously on #OpenStreetMap) is potentially very useful.

The whole estate is now a Conservation Area in the main to retain the distinctive appearance of these houses. Source: Andrew Abbott on Geograph https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6878379

This is one of the most easily recognised Non-standard Houses, particularly in their original form with corrugated metal external surfaces. The low angle pitched roofs are also a good indicator.

Fairly disappointed, but not altogether surprised, that the new Non-forest Tree mapping from Forest Research is not really useful for mapping trees on #OpenStreetMap. Mostly it only has 1 m resolution Lidar, so the map shows canopy above 3 metres in height. Undoubtedly useful for other purposes, such as shade calculations.

@karussell They don't explicitly say that they're incorporating Open Street Map data---instead saying that you can bring "your" data alongside Google's---but, as evidenced by your screenshot, and by Google's intro video here at the 41 second mark:

youtu.be/g9F-_tCakL8?t=41

It certainly seems like Google views Open Street Map data as fair game for inclusion within their "Geospatial Reasoning" product. Their promotional material shows a map rendering that bears a very strong resemblance to Open Street Map's default "Carto" raster tile rendering style, encouraging their potential customers to believe the same.

That is as clear a violation of the ODbL as can be, which was written in large part specifically to exclude Google from using OSM data in its own customer-facing products. Laundering license violations through AI doesn't make them not violations.
