18. Mapathon & Mapping Party Rapperswil, Fr. 24. April 2026, 14:15-21:00
by Stefan Keller 23 Apr '26

23 Apr '26

Am Freitagnachmittag, 24. April 2026 ab 14:15 Uhr findet der 18. Mapathon & Mapping Party auf dem Campus Rapperswil der FH OST statt. Es handelt sich um eine Mapping-Party (outdoor), weil einige – die sogenannten „Craftmapper“ – nach draussen gehen und die Umgebung erfassen, beispielsweise Gebäudeinformationen. Gleichzeitig ist es auch ein Mapathon (indoor) für die „Couchmapper”, die vom Laptop aus z.B. gezielt Objekte erfassen („Targetted Editing”). Einsteiger:innen von 16 bis 99 Jahren sind herzlich willkommen! Es können auch Fragen gestellt werden („Ask-us-Anything”). Gesprochen wird hauptsächlich Deutsch, manchmal auch Englisch. Wir treffen uns um 14:15 Uhr im Erdgeschoss des Seegebäudes 6. Man kann auch später kommen (und früher gehen). Ab 18:30 Uhr beginnt der gemütliche Teil. Weitersagen! Hier eine Programmvorschau: https://giswiki.hsr.ch/Mapathon Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Für Getränke und Pizza ist gesorgt. Wer möchte, kann gerne weitere salzige und süsse Esswaren mitbringen. Anmeldung: Einfach E-Mail an stefan.keller(a)ost.ch mit dem Betreff "Mapathon". --Stefan P.S. Beachtet auch die weiteren Schweizer Events z.B. auf https://osmcal.org/?in=Switzerland

Luzern Bahnhof - duplicate polygons?
by Christopher Beddow 23 Apr '26

23 Apr '26

Guten abig, I was looking at the data for Luzern Bahnhof. I noticed some weird polygons, but maybe it is expected, maybe it is wrong. Can someone share their opinion? https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/17482554 - this is a multipolygon with several members and seems to have the full outer edge, inner edges, is level=0, build_part=yes, is also highway=footway and building=yes https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1280137373 - this looks to be the same as the outer way of the multipolygon above. But this is not a child member of the multipolygon, and has sparse other tags. is the way a duplicate of the relation? Or should these really both exist separately? A secondary question: we have the railway station as a node: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2051794005 - should the relation and way above be named Bahnhof Luzern, considering the node is named Luzern, or should the relation and way just have no name, as train station buildings but not the representative "point of interest" that has a name? Thank you for your opinions on this and I look forward to learning what is the best practice! Freundliche gruesse, Christopher Beddow

Place names on entrances and garages
by Christopher Beddow 25 Mar '26

25 Mar '26

Recently I have noticed a few cases when entrances have a name, which matches the name of the place they are associated with. I do not think this is correct practice, and wanted to confirm with the community here. Example 1: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9283595316 This is a Migros parking garage entrance, and the name is just "Migros Goldau". But that is not the name of the parking garage, that is the name of the supermarket. I could understand perhaps "Migros Goldau Parking" as the name, and I otherwise like to see some way of indicating "this garage is for this POI" but name field is not the way, is that correct? I plan to delete this name. Example 2: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4449332009#map=19/47.052459/8.303734 The Coop City may not be there anymore, but the Coop is in a nearby building. SO this again is an entrance with the name of the POI. Example 3: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2710885475 This seems to mash a few things together: it is an amenity, but also an entrance, and has a description indicating what the specific building is, and the name is generalized to the whole university. If it were to only be left as an entrance node, and the Luzern University School of Music was split into a new POI for a music school or university building, I am wondering if it is indeed correct to have it as an unnamed entrance but with the address staying on the entrance node. Example 4: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9821261758 This is a specific type of entrance, emergency room/emergency ward. However, the name indicates it is the main entrance, which is different from emergency (I believe the actual emergency entrance is on north side of this building). It seems overall this is an entrance, correctly, and including a name might be actually merited here "Eingang Notfall" but it simply has the wrong name. Does that sound correct? Example 5: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/506077428#map=19/47.047219/8.307857 This one appears to be an entrance merged with the POI restaurant itself, and it is a node on the line. Attempts to make sure the entrance to the restaurant is very clear, but I assume these should be separated and the entrance unnamed. Example 6: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11190670860 This one is an entrance, with the street address (which seems fine), but has the POI name. The POI also exists separately. I actually am the one who created this entrance node and named it this way, though I forgot about doing so! I deleted a few others nearby where the entrance, a door for people on foot, had the exact name of the cafe and the exact name of the post office. I appreciate any thoughts and commentary on the practice of naming with entrances in general, as I would like to look out for it going forward, but also am very interested in recommended ways to ensure an entrance is able to be associated with a POI.

Natursteinplatten Mappen
by Raphael Bircher 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Hallo zusammen Für Natursteinplatten gibt es offiziell gar kein Tag. Ich möchte die grossen geschliffenen Platten die oft in Fusdgängerzonen verlegt sind. Pavement_stone passt nicht da diese viel kleiner sind. Beton_plates auch nicht, da die meist wesentlich grössere Fugen haben. Aus Rollstuhlfahrer Sicht kommen sie Asphalt sehr nahe, ist aber auch nicht korrekt Eine Möglichkeit wäre noch paving_stones in Kombination mit smothness anzugeben. Was meint Ihr? Gruss und schönen Abend Raphael

Haltestellen bzw. Haltebalken nur einmal beschriften
by Schmid Michael (SRZ) 24 Feb '26

24 Feb '26

Guten Abend Zusammen Gibt es eine Möglichkeit oder eine geeignete Abfrage, Haltestellen bzw. Haltebalken so darzustellen, dass sie nur einmal beschriftet werden? Aktuell werden sie bei uns mehrfach beschriftet, was die Darstellung etwas unübersichtlich macht. Gerne würde ich das vereinfachen und bin dankbar für Hinweise, Lösungsansätze oder Abfragen. Als Beispiel Sternen Oerlikon https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/47.410142/8.547880&layers=N Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung. Gruss Fijord Michael Schmid Datenmanagement ELZ Schutz & Rettung Zürich

Mapillary Celebration in Zürich
by Christopher Beddow 22 Feb '26

22 Feb '26

Hoi säme, Everyone is welcome to join us this coming Thursday at the Meta office in Zürich, where the Mapillary team is celebrating 3 billion user contributed images with demos, apero, and snacks. I am not certain what the food options are so would consider coming hungry, hopefully not having to eat more after (my own plan), or if you find it risky don't follow this advice! The event is from 17:30-19:30 at the typical location if you have joined for GeoMob/Zürich Maps & Geo Meetup--just next to Sihlcity Bahnhof, Meta office ground floor where there is also a Samsung office and store. RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mapillary-celebrating-3-billion-images-ticke… I hope to see some of you there! Best regards, Christopher Beddow

Playgrounds on private property
by Christopher Beddow 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

Hoi säme! I recently put together a website: https://playmap.ch I made this for my own needs to start, with two young kids and looking for nearby playgrounds. Makes it just slightly easier than with Organic Maps. Some feedback I got is that many of the playgrounds I pulled into the map are on private property. This is after I already filtered out anything with access=private. I was thinking I could overlay my data on property parcels to remove any on private parcels but I am sure that some number of somewhat public playgrounds may be lost there anyway: does anyone have an opinion on that? Otherwise I was thinking putting the results of this overlay onto MapRoulette might be a nice community project to add access tags, but it can be difficult also without local knowledge. If anyone has interest or thoughts, I appreciate to hear from you. Freundliche Grüsse Christopher Beddow Goldau SZ
