The traditional supermarket industry has shrunk as big-name grocers acquired their smaller rivals. Here are the chains that dominate near you and across the U.S.
Yeah, but there is no button to remove all of them at once. And the next time you'll visit the site, they'll just get installed again - so I don't think it is very useful to delete them.
This is a browser feature called 'service workers' which indeed allows websites to keep a process running for e.g. notifications.and pending updates.
Can be highly annoying. Visit ‘about:serviceworkers‘ to see the installed ones.
Then, please, add this single place :)
You might make the difference for someone else
It is not 'by OSM'. The foundation is not involved at all, neither are members of the community.
This is big corpos who put together their data, and they have to include OSM because it is so great.... which also means they have to open up this data due to our ODBL license!
And yes, we can thus absorb this data back into OSM, but it is not worth it
Yeah, and Wikipedia, linux,... have become important as well, without big corpo
All of you are invited on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Also checkout the many editing tools, such as https://mapcomplete.org, https://streetcomplete.app,...
WHAT? HOW DARE YOU INSULT OPENSTREETMAP, THE MOST USED DIGITAL MAP!
(In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised that OSM is actually used the most, especially because it creeps into many other maps. But of course, this usage is spread over many apps and not a single advertising map product, where GMaps is undoubtly the biggest one)
Have a look at https://mapcomplete.org/glutenfree
Because they render the map offline (and have a slow render engine)
Looks like V2. That one shows the grid for not-yet-rendered areas
Should be possible. With reviews however, one needs a central curator to weed out the spam reviews...
whether they buy out the project
Which is why an open license is important: it allows to fork if needed.
This is actually a really interesting case. On one hand, there is typically a specialized company involved creating those maps. On the other hand, the mall which requested them is, by law, required to create them and to put them at visible places in the mall (thus "publishing" them). According to the European Database Law, they would thus not be eligible for copyright and should be considered public domain!
However, I wouldn't build a multi-million company on it...
You can also add those (and many more) with https://mapcomplete.org . This is a different app (or rather) a website, which was inspired by streetcomplete
MapComplete is indeed limited to creating new points, but it can modify attributes of existing ways. I'm assuming that most navigable waterways are drawn, but not all necessary attributes are known, where MC could help.
And: tackle it one layer at a time :)
Wow, very good first attempt! I'm reviewing the layers you made (esp. fuel station and sanitary dump station) and they seem very well done!
I've spotted a few small mistakes, but nothing fundamental.
It would IMHO be even more interesting to have a layer about the canals themselfs, to indicate what types of boats (e.g. small boats, kayaks, ...) are legally allowed to and physically possible to go over a certain waterway; that would be great!
As MC dev, I'm a bit curious on how your data pipeline works. Is there some documentation around for this?

Hi!
I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be (and also one of the modsof this subcommunity). I have a long train journey ahead of me today (and next week again).The ideal moment to answer questions from other OSM-contributors.
So, shoot!
Hi! This is the place to show or tell about some cool stuff you did with OpenStreetMap!
HI all,
Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.
You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread
At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started...

Did you recently (or not recently) map a cool area that you want to show? Something you are proud of? Post it here! A little explanation of why it is cool might help as well.
Hi!
OpenStreetMap is a map that anyone can edit and anyone can freely reuse. It has a huge ecosystem, and can thus be a bit confusing to edit or to work with.
I thought that having a weekly thread to ask all beginner questions would be nice for everyone interested, so - go for it!
If you know the answer to a question, please answer (so that I don't have to answer everything).
Hi all!
Welcome to the OSM-community on Lemmy. With this post, we'd like to introduce us, tell us what you expect from this place and what it should/might become.
BTW: we are still open to add more moderators! Make an introduction post here, mentioning why you want to moderate and showing some of your mapping work. (If you don't want to share your OSM-username, you can also PM that to one of the mods)
So, I'm @pietervdvn (https://osm.org/user/Pieter%20Vander%20Vennet ; he/him), I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be . I'm involved with OSM most of the time and quite happy that there is momentum to move away from Reddit to an open-source, federated platform. ;) Personally, I already have a lot on my plate so I do not have enough team to moderate this place, so I'd like to get a team here quickly and start this place so that I can retire here.
https://lemmy.ml/u/Ben_on_Lemmy was the original founder of this community - but lost interest as nobody joined a few years back. But the tides have turned! One thorough search for the password of his account later and he's back!
At last, https://lemmy.ml/u/SyJ just joined the moderation team as well - even though I don't know a whole lot about them.
So:
- Do you have any questions for us?
- What do you expect from the moderation team?
- What do you expect from !openstreetmap?
- What should this place look like in about one year time?

Hi all,
I have been made moderator for this community after I requested this.
However, I'm but a human too - and I already have enough to do, so I would like to spread the load as much as possible - not to mention that I'll be on holidays soon.
In other words, I'm searching for some more people to man the ship!
To apply as moderator here, I'd like to be sure that you are well-embedded in the OSM-community and have the necessary skills. As lemmy is a mostly english-speaking community, you must have decent english skills.
Furthermore, some communication skills and discretion is necessary too. At last, a bit of time to regularly check the community here is necessary as well (I'm lacking the last thing a bit). Furhtermore, you'll obviously need an account in the threadiverse. If you have an account (on another server), that should work. (I think one can moderate over server boundaries). If you don't have an account yet, it might be a good idea to make one on lemmy.ml as that is the one hosting the community.
As many people discovered lemmy just recently, the useraccount here probably won't have a lot of credit here. As such, you can:
- Send me a message via openstreetmap.org (i'm https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Pieter%20Vander%20Vennet) with your threadiverse-account
- Send me a message via reddit (/u/pietervdvn) - especially if you were very active on the OSM-subreddit

Hi,
The current mod hasn't been active for over a year: https://lemmy.ml/u/Ben_on_Lemmy
I'd like to take over the baton now that some activity is picking up there (and appoint some more mods as well).
Kind regards, Pietervdvn

Hi,
I'm very active within OpenStreetMap. As many refugees from Reddit, I'm taking shelter here and found the OSM-community.
Hover, there is only one moderator there, which seems to be inactive for >3 years. Is there a process to make me moderator of that community? I'll make sure to create a moderation team there as well.

Hi all,
A new version of MapComplete is in the works, using MapLibre and lots of Svelte.
It marks a big refactoring and a new, nice visual style. I'd be honoured if you all were to test it and eventually point out the last bugs you find.
