Some ideas for a potential series on OpenStreetMap specially made for hikers and other outdoor active people.
- OpenStreetMap introduction to hikers
- What is it, who uses it and why is it good for hikers?
- What data can be found in OSM?
- Who adds/maintains this data?
- How can we contribute?
- What maps/visualizations/styles exist? (default Carto, OpenTopoMap, ...)
- Using OSM data
- How does the data look like?
- How can I download the data?
- How can I view/visualize the data?
- How can I filter the data to only get relevant parts of it?
- Download data for Garmin devices
- Useful apps, websites and tools
- Apps: OsmAnd, Organic Maps, Komoot, AllTrails
- Websites: osm.org, OpenRouteService, OpenTopoMap, brouter, uMap, outdooractive
- Tools: Overpass, JOSM, OpenStreetBrowser
- Contributing to OSM
- How does it work?
- What are the rules/best practices?
- How are things mapped?
- Paths and ways
- Natural things (forests, lakes, rivers, ...)
- Hiking routes
- Other stuff (benches, guideposts, maps, fords, drinking fountains, campsites, ...)
