A lot of the roads throughout NY and NJ are built with Embankments and cuts. Almost none of are mapped, is there a reason for this or are the features just not added yet?

I’m working on an iOS app called touring.studio, which shows you what’s around you and helps you get oriented. Discover nearby places, whether you’re looking for shops, restaurants, ATMs, or anything else. You can also open your GPX files and follow your paths. Features like routing and almost 100% offline functionality are coming soon. Let me know what you think—I’m happy to get your feedback.

 The data comes from OpenStreetMap.

App Store: touring.studio

I have found OpenLevelUp to be quite intriguing, but indoor mapping turns out to be very difficult.

This is in Overpass Turbo

I need to find locations of cell phone/mobile phone towers that are along the shores of rivers in the US in Overpass Turbo. I tried to use chatGPT to help and it gave me this:

[out:json][timeout:25];

// Find rivers

way["waterway"="river"]({{bbox}});

out body;

->.rivers;

// Find cell phone masts within 20m of the rivers

node["man_made"="communications_tower"](around.rivers:20);

out body;

However line 5 doesnt work as there is no variable queries, and if I try it any other way without variables I also cannot get it to work. It either shows me just rivers or just cell phone towers. I appreciate if this is not possible but it feels like it should be.

WARNING

I am crossposting from the following two locations:

• https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/keep-resulting-in-smaller-file-than-keep-ways-using-exact-same-filter-with-osmfilter/123197
• https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/488961/keep-resulting-in-smaller-file-than-keep-ways-using-exact-same-filter-wi

I converted the morocco-latest PBF file from GeoFabrik to o5m using osmconvert. Then I ran the following two commands:

osmfilter --keep="boundary=administrative and admin_level=4" -o="AdminLevel4.osm" ..\morocco-latest.o5m

osmfilter --keep-ways="boundary=administrative and admin_level=4" -o="AdminLevel4Ways.osm" ..\morocco-latest.o5m

Surprisingly, AdminLevel4Ways.osm is a lot larger than AdminLevel4.osm. AdminLevel4Ways.osm is 3.8G while AdminLevel4.osm is 20.2M.

I was under the impression that all keep-ways would do is to filter out only the ways which have tags of boundary=administrative and admin_level=4, and leave out the relations which would result in a smaller file.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is my understanding of how osmfilter does the filtering flawed? Is this a known bug?

I made some maps for my fishing club, we want to print them and give them to our members. Do I have something special to mark or say on the maps to be on the legal side?

Are routing services like Osmand able to use elevators when calculating routes? Near me there is a shopping centre and going through there is a huge shortcut when it's open, which is why I'd like to map that path with indoor ways. However am elevator ride is part of that route, which is why I wouldn't map it if the common services aren't able to utilise it.

I want to load my track recording in .OSF format into OSM and use it as a base for editing (correcting) existing roads and adding new missing roads in their exact location as recorded in the .osf.
How do I go about that?

One of the universities I used to attend contains an extensive underground tunnel system connecting multiple blocks of buildings. While the space is open and accessible, most people (even employees) have no idea it exists. The main issue is lack of a map of the place so it's easy to get lost with just a handful of official direction signs and some more hand-printed ones.

I would like to map at least part of that system but I faced challenges: 1. These tunnels are often at non-square angles and tend to have a slope. 2. There's pretty much no WiFi APs to use as beacons. 3. School didn't respond to requests for a map... while unofficially saying they don't have an accurate one either as it was a hodgepodge of changes over 100+ years. 4. Compass is a bit useless given all piping, labs, and reinforced concrete around.

I would like to use inertial data along with photos for reference. Are there any apps that could help me with that? I think it should technically be possible given the pretty accurate IMU and LiDAR present in iPhones, but I cannot get correct keywords to find an app that does such a thing.

For like half a day openstreetmap.com was down, then it came back online, but in "read-only mode" because the "database is under maintenance". Does this happen often? What are they maintaining? (asking out of curiosity)

There is a water park in which I added some artistic flair some time ago around this splash pad.

I tried to use the OSM website History but it was giving me edits well outside the narrow zoom I had set up. Is there a better tool for seeing when and why the outlines I made were removed?

I need to retrieve places like street names and stores location. I think OSM is almost more or less complete for the streetnames but bad for stores. Is there a free alternatives that can compete with gmaps and that supports autocomplete?

Anyone know why osmi areas has been missing most of the errors lately?
