AlsoPaisleyCatInteresting story about how Google Maps has been mislabeling some Canadian provincial and local parks as ‘state parks.’It turns out that it’s been an issue for some time, but Google is now has a greater sense of urgency to correct this.And today I was reminded that ‘cartographic bias’ is a thing that needs more scrutiny and calling out.<a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/why-are-provincial-parks-listed-as-state-parks-on-google-maps-1.7466824" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/why-are-provincial-parks-listed-as-state-parks-on-google-maps-1.7466824</a><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CdnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CdnPoli</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanPoli</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Cartography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cartography</a>

MapAm💜re<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/@gowin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gowin</a>Actually, both <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Osmand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Osmand</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> partially supports the truncated version you'll find in <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a> -- but sometimes they're ambiguous because OLCs can generate similar codes when locations are close to each other. That's why Google adds the locality, which makes it longer.Keep it short and sweet, and avoid the ambiguity by using the full 11-character OLC. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@artfulrobot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@artfulrobot</a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/@osmapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@osmapp</a>

Grégory Gutierez 🌻Quelques premières observations sur <a href="https://mastodon.social/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> : 1. L'interface est plus simple et limpide que celle de <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a>, à l'usage je trouve ça bien plus agréable, moins "lourd"2. En contrepartie, certaines fonctionnalités sont "cachées" dans les Préférences au lieu d'être à portée de clic (par exemple (dés)activer la voix pendant les trajets). 3. L'estimation du temps de trajet est pertinente, sauf en cas d'embouteillages... qui ne semblent pas être pris en compte ?4. Pas de "street view"

Grégory Gutierez 🌻🥳 Sur mon smartphone, j'utilise <a href="https://mastodon.social/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> depuis quelques semaines, en lieu et place de <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a>, pour le moment sur des trajets que je pratique déjà afin de comparer les deux applis.De passage dans le <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/Vexin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vexin</a>, j'en ai profité pour contribuer, en découvrant qu'une boutique de broquante à <a href="https://pouet.chapril.org/tags/LaRocheGuyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaRocheGuyon</a> n'était pas encore signalée sur OpenStreetMap (<a href="https://fr.osm.social/@osm_fr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@osm_fr</a>). Seulement une minute pour déclarer ce nouveau "point of interest" (POI), et ensuite 24 heures pour la validation par un admin !

artfulrobot...yep, the short one that you can only really use with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a> I avoid them because <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SurveillanceCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SurveillanceCapitalism</a> and also it's really useless at detail compared to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/osmand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#osmand</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> supports the long version not the short.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/what3words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#what3words</a> is awful for reasons that the fedi discusses at length.numeric lat,lon are hard to read and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#signal</a> makes it impossible to copy them from a message.degrees, minutes, seconds don't share well.I wish OLC was better supported.

artfulrobotI like Open Location Coordinates AKA <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/olc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#olc</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/plusCodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plusCodes</a> as these are a compact, readable easily sharable open way to identify global coordinates.There's 2 renderings though, a full one and a version that's abbreviated but needs a locality name.The long one is great, the other one is useless because an app would need a massive db of placenames. Guess which version <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/googleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#googleMaps</a> gives access to...

Leigh SilvesterJust removed <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/googlemaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#googlemaps</a> from my phone.Have installed <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a> and am pleased with it. Slight downside is that it doesn't monitor traffic and adjust the route to suit. Irritating but not life threatening.Nice feature is it downloads maps for an area doesn't need to use data while traveling.
