Cool Tools that I am/should start using

Merry Christmas!


Part 1

Hi! I’m @likeToTravel, and I suck at writing, so I’m gonna go straight to the point:

THE LIST

Pascal Neis Stuff:

  • OSMviz. I use this to visualize my changes because I am so dumb, I don’t understand OSMCha (hence, you won’t find OSMCha on my list). To see a changeset, go to the link and add the changeset number after ?c= in the link. Or, just go to…
  • Find Suspicious OpenStreetMap Changesets. This is very useful to find changesets that asked for help. You can also have a link directly to that changeset’s OSMviz or Achavi page.
  • How did you contribute to OpenStreetMap? (aka hdyc). Cool because you can visualize any user’s stats.
  • OSMstats. It’s cool because it has a lot of stats, for lack of a better word.
  • OSMfight. Funny :)

Overpass & other:

  • Overpass Turbo. I use this to create challenges on MapRoulette, which is cool, but it also has some other interesting uses.
  • Achavi. Better version of OSMviz! Basically the same, even the link thing I was talking about with the changeset number.
  • OSM Buildings. It’s just cool.
  • OSM Lane Visualizer. This helps me a lot with understanding any tag that starts with turn, especially turn:lanes=*& turn:lanes:*=*.
  • Go Map!!. OSM Editor for iOS and iPadOS! I don’t use Android, so this is my best option. The UI is weird, and you really need to know your tags if you want to map here, but apart from that, it can also do GPS Traces, which works insanely well with Shortcuts (it is an app).

Honorable Mention

To my hikers, OSM Destination Signs.
