TIL that there are 360° LIDAR scanners below $450. With open source programs. I desperately need to figure out why I do need one.

Indoor Mapping mit dem Smartphone und SCEE (Street Complete Expert Edition)
I'm currently mapping the #Ostfalia Campus in #Wolfenbüttel, Lower Saxony (Informatik Fakultät almost done 🥳) and i'm especially loving @francois 's tool indoor= to view it :)

Great article by @VolkerKrause on #OpenStreetMap indoor-mapping using building plans:
https://www.volkerkrause.eu/2025/06/28/osm-mapping-building-interiors.html
Playing a bit with trying to implement indoor mapping support in libshumate (and ultimatly in Maps):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libshumate/-/tree/wip/mlundblad/indoor-levels
So far, one can manually edit a hard-coded value (in shumate/shumate-vector-renderer.c) and run the libshumate demo app, selecting the "OSM Liberty" map source alternative.
So, don't expect anything mature soon… 😄
