    A question for #OpenStreetMap mappers. There is a mall in my city, which I'm using a lot and it was not mapped properly, since 2019 I think — there are a lot of non-existent amenities, a lot of new amenities don't exist on the map, and a lot of POI placed semi-randomly.I tried to fix it "on foot" by editing and moving amenities, but it is not very easy for me with Every Door application and without JOSM (and without the big screen with a big keyboard) .So, I think about to take the official website of the mall, which has the actual information about all the stores inside and about their position inside the building — and fix the #OSM map for this mall.But I unable to find — is it legal (in terms of OSM) to use this external source of information (floor plans for mall visitors) in OSM mapping?#AskFedi

    #DYK that server names in #OpenStreetMap are fictional dragons? Why dragons? Because “here be dragons” is a trope on old maps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_be_dragonsYou can view a list of all dragon names ever used and even suggest new ones on this wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers/Name_Ideas🧵 1/2

    Did you know #OpenStreetMap can cover indoor areas too?This is Gregory's attempt to map some of the rooms and corridors of Abertay University, which will host the #sotmeu25 conference next month.He's used the "Simple Indoor Tagging" schema to describe the spaces, and it's being rendered by the "Indoor=" website.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_Indoor_Tagging https://indoorequal.org/#map=18.39/56.463257/-2.973957&level=1 A better and more complete example is the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield. https://indoorequal.org/#map=16/53.41384/-1.41329&level=
