@wakest @sproid CloudMade? Are you sure about that app? I though they stopped years ago?

I've heard good things about GoMap!! (but never used it cause I only have android).

@rory @sproid looked it up I didn't realize they were no more. seems like MapBox is carrying on their designs. I wonder what happened to all the old FLOSS tiles tho they were really nice looking.

@wakest @sproid CloudMade kinda pivoted a few times and doesn't do map stuff anymore.

In many ways Mapbox are doing a lot of what CloudMade tried a few years ago.

@sproid Let's bring a hands on part in here:




#HandsOn #OpenStreetmap #contribute

Thanks. I recently installed that one and also Vespucci app.


@sproid @bob
How can our world get the grip on some satellite imagery though?

@sproid @bob
On the rare occasions when i *have* to use google maps, it is because I want to see the satellite imagery layer underneath the map.
Open Streetmap doesn't have the resources to acquire sat. imagery.
Google simply bought a sat. image company.

Is my understanding that OsmAnd app has a plug-in that you can pay a subscription for live maps including satellite view. Also the app Vespucci for editing openstreetmap have a satellite view in the settings with Bing aerial imagery and USGS Imagery.

I kept researching and found out that there's many more aerial/satellite options in the app.

But if you or anyone is only using app for there is also satellite view. Go to Configure map > select overlay or underlay > download or select Microsoft Earth.


@sproid I've got to say, here in Germany OSM is often better than Google Maps (in detail, maybe not always in listing of shops and co.).

@sproid I've got this covered. You can find me and my edits on OSM under the name ExpresswayDave.
