We just finished mapping all the buildings in Co. Down, and I wanted to write the usual blog post with all the statistics using ohsome.org, but it won't let me choose County Down as an area. Is there quick and easy way to get the bounding box from a geojson file for Co. Down? #OpenStreetMap #ohsome #heigit @heigit

With the new release, we have integrated H3 hexagon grids for a more accurate, multi-resolution view of where mapping happens within countries.
Another feature is Power Grid Mapping to track contributions related to electrical infrastructure, which is relevant for humanitarian mapping and development planning.

ohsome-planet: Export OSM data and its history to GeoParquet โ€“ spatialists.ch โ€“ geospatial news

The GIScience Research Group at Heidelberg University and HeiGIT have released version 1.0.0 of #ohsome-planet, a tool for #cloudnative access to #OpenStreetMap (#OSM) data using the #GeoParquet format. Originally developed as an internal tool, it now enables users to create customizable OSM data exports with Java 21 and PBF input files.

First release of ohsome-planet: OSM history data in GeoParquet format โ€“ HeiGIT

We have recently expanded the #ohsome Quality API and its dashboard, introducing a new indicator to assess attribute completeness in #OpenStreetMap.

We now add new options to the Attribute Completeness Indicator:
โ–ซ๏ธ Multi-Attribute Queries: Check completeness for multiple attributes at once.
โ–ซ๏ธ Custom Attribute Filters: define key-value combos with โ€œandโ€ / โ€œorโ€ logic.

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿ“Š Curious about the impact of OpenStreetMap usage?

We selected some metrics on #ohsome tools and the impact of #OpenStreetMap (#OSM) in 2024.
From building data coverage to the number of API requests, these figures showcase the scale of OSM use and the analytics capabilities of ohsome.

โ„น๏ธ With the ohsome dashboard, users can analyze OSMโ€™s full-history data without programming skills.

๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ How up-to-date is road data in #OpenStreetMap?

This map shows the recency (โ€œcurrentnessโ€) of edits to #OSM road data in urban centers around the world.

Currentness is a crucial factor in determining data quality. Higher values suggest more up-to-date areas, while lower values may indicate less reliable information.

The map was created using the #ohsome quality API (OQAPI): https://dashboard.ohsome.org/#backend=oqtApi&topic=roads&indicators=currentness

#30DayMapChallenge Day 18:

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Todayยดs map shows where building stock is located worldwide. It highlights a particularly high building density in East and Southeast Asia.

Benjamin Herfort & al. created this map and compared it with building data in #OpenStreetMap using #ohsome (https://dashboard.ohsome.org/). They analyzed building data completeness for 13,189 urban areas in #OSM, proposing solutions for the data gaps.

๐Ÿš€ [Re]Introducing Ultra v3 (nรฉe Overpass Ultra)

In January, I introduced Overpass Ultra v2 and then in June I provided some updates. Today Im excited to share that Overpass Ultra is now simply Ultra(v3) as it has evolved beyond simply being an Overpass client into a general purpose MapLibre GL JS IDE.
