People can use StreetComplete and other software to enhance existing data (e.g. building heights/floors) and overall improve the underlying OpenStreetMap data that it (in part) uses.
Some of the data it uses is based on OpenStreetMap. There was a viral story about a 212-story building due to a typo.
Looks like it’s going to pick up Seattle’s Space Needle. Quite insane. /c/confusingperspective

Ah, someone with experience with Solid Explorer. I’m hopeful you might be a power user.
Long ago, I looked into it, but was dissuaded because the details views therein seemed to waste vertical whitespace. An absurdly small font, close to the bottom of the icon to maximize empty vertical space, was used for details (at least datestamp, I think).
Is that still the case? Have they added a method to increase the font size of the details without also increasing (or perhaps simultaneously decreasing) the filename’s font’s size? I couldn’t find one when I tried it last.
If there’s an interview with the creators wherein they extol the virtues of vertical whitespace within an item, or if some reviewer has done that for them, I’d love a link or two to read about it, see what I’m missing.
I’m sure the functionality is great. It’s the presentation I didn’t like. But perhaps there are unintended consequences of a compact layout…

What did Biden have the authority to do that wasn’t done (to avoid this loss)?

1·10 months agoI’m not sure which editor you refer to as “the OSM editor”, but surely id has it, JOSM can specify it, and StreetComplete has numerous quests that are disabled by default for various reasons but can be enabled (with SCEE having even more).
As for routing priority, that depends on the routing profile used by the router; there are dozens of routing profiles among several routing providers, many of which probably don’t use smoothness but could. OsmAnd can — it targets some smoothness values like unpaved.

1·10 months agoAre you referring to smoothness=bad or a narrow width? (I’m guessing you’ve been using StreetComplete to specify each.)

24·1 year agoYour reference predates Assad’s toppling and the very URL mentions people fleeing due to escalation, so it doesn’t contradict the comment to which you replied, nor does it substantiate your statements. Do you have a better corroboration?



I’d’ve thought EA is just an abbreviation for Electronic Arts.
Back in the day, a couple of people I knew abbreviated it as EOA to more closely match their original logo.
