  • Google will no longer hold onto people's location data in Google Maps
    I modified an open source GPX recording app called Trackbook to turn it into a 24/7 recorder, and I wrote about it here: https://voussoir.net/writing/obsessed_with_gpx I have a few recent commits in my repository that I haven't put into a versioned APK yet though. The output GPX files can be viewed on the PC with JOSM: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Farmland inside a wood
    JOSM has quite convenient merge/split functions, making deletion and re-tracing unnecessary. I took care of the issue in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/134052747. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What is your favorite app for creating MTB GPX routes?
    Record your track and upload it onto Open Street Map. That's the map service that Strava and Garmin utilize. You'll be able to add the trail for everyone to see regardless of the program as long as it uses OSM. JOSM is a really good program to edit OSM and here's a video to get you started on how to use it.

  • QGIS is the mapping software you didn't know you needed
    Great for preparing data for OSM, but JOSM is the only desktop editor for actually making contributions. Source: about 1 year ago
  • I'm Losing Sleep over Java
    One that comes to my mind would be JOSM: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
