This is an offline render, internet speed shouldn’t have any effect.
The lack of caching of previously rendered areas is annoying.

@mamus @gigachad @openstreetmap
This problem has been getting worse for years, they seem more interested in new premium subscription bloat than having an app that works at a usable speed.

Something very expensive to maintain, but not very useful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant

Odette just getting worse the more they do to it.
It doesn’t even seem to have a cache for locally rendered tiles so if you pan to a new area and pan back you get to wait a second time.
@NeatNit @openstreetmap
switching topics again are we?
They rolled out a massive new warning type and then didn’t have all their apps accept it as OK. That is a deliberate choice. It is their ecosystem from top to bottom, they *chose* not to have the TetheredNet added to the list of allowed warnings in existing installs. If they hadn’t wanted to make that choice they should have done the responsible thing and held the rollout until their app supported it.
I would assume the same as the reason for warning about this in the first place? They don’t seem to like devs tying things back to preset websites and think it deserves a massive warning icon.

If you select a hotel found on Kayak it will add an affiliate link to Kayak in addition to the direct link stored in OpenStreetMap.
If you know to look in https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/blob/master/metadata/app.organicmaps.yml you will find:
“AntiFeatures:
TetheredNet:
en-US: Map download service (cdn*.organicmaps.app).
NonFreeNet:
en-US: Hotel widget includes a link to kayak.com not contained in original map
data.”
It’s new so I think more will probably be flagged later.
@NeatNit @gedaliyah @openstreetmap
Oh, and they also deliberately buried the rollout of the new anti-feature in the middle of an obscure blog post rather than doing the responsible thing and prompting users to make a decision about it.

@organicmaps is probably on borrowed time before it is also hidden from search.
@NeatNit @gedaliyah @openstreetmap
F-Droid do provide more detail about why they warn that something has an anti-feature, but only make that easily accessible if you run their code natively on your device. If you’re on the web interface you have to figure out which of the links in the external links section isn’t actually external and look in there.
Their excuse for this is that their website can’t parse their own file format that they invented for themselves.
@inbeesee @openstreetmap It does have a team mode, but I think that’s just a transient thing.

It looks better in the F4 map demo: https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=50.8950203&lon=4.3415218&zoom=18&camera.theta=67.059&camera.phi=-106.857
Streets.gl has an … interesting interpretation: https://streets.gl/#50.89508,4.34143,45.00,0.00,577.53

I don’t think that changes your underlying account ID.
Whatever you do you need to make sure that you are contactable through the email address(es) you supply. If there is a problem with some of your edits and you don’t reply to queries you may have your account(s) blocked and all your edits reverted.
There have been many disputes between the way the iD developers want to do things and the community over the years, to the point where they are now unique in having a dedicated page on the wiki documenting all their controversial decisions.

I wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
The main thing is to have highway=traffic\_signals
either on the intersection node or on all the inbound ways. Any refinement beyond that is just a bit of a bonus.
Breaking up roads for turn restrictions, changes in the number of lanes etc is perfectly fine.
I’ve always found it a bit silly to break up roundabouts for route relations, but not everything supports leaving them intact.
@abeorch @pietervdvn @openstreetmap
I had a go but haven’t finished it. The link should be kicking around in this thread somewhere.
The major thing I thought would be good but haven’t included yet is chandlers because the tagging for that is a bit confused.
Also boatyards I guess.
@BitSound @openstreetmap
Depends on the layer. Some of the ones described as ortho imagery are provided by government sources and are really closely aligned to very well known survey points. Others aren’t.
Even if you do have a layer done to a very high standard it could be older than some of the lower accuracy ones so there will be individual buildings that have been replaced or remodelled and the later source should be used.
IIRC the photos stay hosted untill a week after the note is resolved. They are in the website if the developer

I would expect ISO to be among the last organisations in the world to suggest that copyright should be waived for something or that there should be an open license.
Of course I’m not going to check in this instance because as a typical ISO standard it is obscenely expensive.
Don’t copy from maps you don’t have permission to use.

@Showroom7561 @openstreetmap
Well yeah, if you get some beefy server somewhere else to do the rendering it will be quicker.
I don’t know if Organic Maps and the like actually store vector tiles locally to get the speed up or what, but they’re clearly doing something better.
