@dasgrueneblatt Locally, you can easily display #OsmAnd favorites by just open it in #JOSM, but it does not looks very nice. For local customization, it is quite easy to enable labels with just a few clicks in #QGIS. Or (esp. if you want to publish the map) you can use service like umap.openstreetmap.de (you also need to enable labels either as always-on or on-popup in GPX layer)

umap.openstreetmap.deuMap - Online map creatoruMap lets you create maps with OpenStreetMap layers in a minute and embed them in your site.

Vous connaissiez Framacarte.org ?

C'est une instance du logiciel libre #uMap, une manière facile d'utiliser les fonds de carte d' #OpenStreetMap pour vos besoins perso :
- planifier un roadtrip de vacances
- réaliser et tenir à jour un plan bathymétrique : port-premier.fr/pages/carte.ht
- rassembler les points de vente de la lessive à la cendre Héron Cendré : heroncendre.com/#_o%C3%B9_trou
- visualiser le parcours d'une outarde canepetière tant qu'il n'y a pas de bassine là où elle niche en France : gebull.org/2022/comment-gebull (bon, en vrai on a utilisé #JOSM là, mais vous, vous auriez pu utiliser #Framacarte / uMap).

@joeldn, yup, I am well aware of @edward’s tool because we both co-presented about linking OSM with Wikidata (including demoing his tool) twice: once at State of the Map 2019...

... and the other at WikidataCon 2019:

Edward’s tool only adds wikidata=* tags and I usually do other edits and clean-ups so I still use #JOSM for editing. 😉

I've had it up to here with #josm using garbage AI furry image stuff for their homescreen. (this is coming from a furry myself btw)

For context: #JOSM (a very popular #OpenStreetMap editor) has in recent weeks been using ai images (seems like there's a new one every day) to raise awareness for their translation project. They want more translations to happen for the JOSM application.

OpenStreetMap Community Forum · AI ferrets take over JOSMWhat kind of soulless Zootopia ripoff is this??

Couple years ago I got sad every time I saw a good person I know fall for crypto and NFT. Now I get sad seeing good developers falling for AI.

I understand it is hard to resist huge corporations shoving it in your face, but we have more brains and love for people than corporations, we can know better.

(this is about #JOSM, yes.)

#JOSM devs are currently looking for people who can help with translations.

But if you are not interested, seeing those images on the home screen is an annoyance.

Here is how you can blank the entire page.

Set help.displaymotd to false.

The latest version of #JOSM, the Java #OpenStreetMap editor shows this announcement , with an illlustration of a tiger pointing to the viewer, and the text "JOSM Needs You for the 2025 translation initiative.

Details are available here: JOSM I18n contest 2025

#JOSM had several furries sitting around a map discussing it in the MOTD yesterday, one furry's a coincidence, two furries in a row is certainly a pattern, and a welcome one.

Not sure "i18n" is particularly parseable to people who need it, in similar how "a11y" isn't particularly accessible to the illiterate and really wonder if we can drop both in favor of just spelling it?
