Their privacy policy is here:

It also looks to the tile providers privacy policy.

Only F-Droid would take the stated purpose of an app and warn you about it as an anti-feature, but here we are.

@paequ2 It has been so long since I started using JOSM that I don't really know what's tutorials are the best. HOT did a two minute introduction to building tracing that's linked from the wiki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcKewl94jR4 (skip the HOT specific bit)

LearnOSM has a longer written introduction to JOSM here: https://learnosm.org/en/josm/

@Koreller did a very good collection of GIFs suggesting efficient ways to trace buildings with the building tools plugin here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Koreller/diary/404988

@paequ2
I think it's quicker to draw them from scratch with the #JOSM Building Tools or mapathoner plugins than it is to fix the AI guesswork.

Sadly there's a very misguided campaign running on the start page at the moment, but it's still a much better app for serious mapping.

@pietervdvn @mdione If you're replying to a reply it sometimes helps to add @openstreetmap to the toot to make sure it gets propagated properly by lemmy.

(although probably not this time as I'm replying to a lemmy.ml account)

@ray @openstreetmap

Makes you wonder what people are thinking.

So many rounded corners and buildings with notched taken out of them when they clearly just have a tree over a bit of the building.

@mvirts I'm not sure that ould have helped that much. They're apparently paying for redundant connections, but a single point of failure in the ISP's network is causing an outage on both of them.

@JubilantJaguar @sic_semper_tyrannis

The developers pronounce it "Osmand" like the fairly common name.

@redd @JubilantJaguar not really.

OsmAndMapCreator is a free download and can process raw OSM data into what you need.
I used it all the time for quick updates before their "live" updates

Because not everyone lives somewhere where open data exists. Even that map of a single country shows that
~40%(?) of the country is missing the relevant data.

Satellites are expensive. There is no noncommercial option at a useful resolution.
