When I'm out walking, I always have OpenStreetMap open. I use an app called OSMAnd, in which I can overlay scenic viewpoints or photo spots. Sometimes the photo spots will be just a little off a walking trail, and sometimes quite some distant away but worth the effort.

These spots will have been added by other enthusiasts and walkers, and I am glad to benefit from their enthusiasm and glad that such a community exists. Of course I'm sure to add good spots when I come across them.

mapping Edinburgh in the style of Ordnance Survey maps from the early 20th century, using contemporary OpenStreetMap data.

Inspired by the wonderful georeferenced maps from the National Library of Scotland, in particular the early 1900s Ordnance Survey Maps.

Using QGIS 2.18. The hardest part is the street labelling and typography. Edinburgh is mapped in great detail in OSM; I had to reduce the detail and shrink the building outlines to get the feel of the originals.

Added a bit of grunge using blending mode, transparency, and a texture (a photo of a plaster wall I took during house renovation)

Inspired by www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/esq9ay/all_roads_in_sco..., here's all the roads on the island of Ireland

• OpenStreetMap data downloaded as PBF files from download.openstreetmap.fr/extracts/europe/

○ Ireland

○ Northern Ireland

• OGR2OGR used to convert and combine the two PBF files into one SQLite database

• The "Lines" table from the resulting SQLite database was imported to QGIS

• The data were filtered so that only lines where "highway" is NOT NULL were included

• Separate layers were created for the following "highway" types and styled with different thicknesses of lines (from thicker at Motorways to thinner at Tracks)

○ Motorways

○ Trunk and primary roads

○ Secondary roads

○ Tertiary roads

○ Tracks

• From the remaining layer the following "highway" types were excluded

○ abandoned

○ demolished

○ disused

○ footway

○ cycleway

○ gallop

○ proposed

○ planned

○ bus_stop

○ bridleway

○ path

○ razed

○ raceway

○ rest_area

height and colour of each road in proportion to number of cafes and restaurants within 30m of each road

This is a debugging image for helping to sort out the lakes tagged as coastline in OpenStreetMap. There are various lakes and areas of water that are not sea that are currently marked with natural=coastline. They should actually be marker natural=water as per guidance on the OSM wiki.

OpenStreetMap data for Great Britain were downloaded from Geofabrik on 22 Jan. 2011, uploaded to a PostGIS database using osm2pgsql. Nodes and Ways tagged with amenity=pub were assigned to centroids of 5 km square grid based on the Ordnance Survey National Grid and the number of pubs in each square counted.

The grid was generated, pubs counted, and output generated using Quantum GIS.

map of Foula in the Shetland Isles, using OpenStreetMap and OS Open Terrain 50 data. Rendered in QGIS 2.18.10.

Using a combination of hillshading and sky view factor to give a textured relief effect. Direction arrows traced from great circles, generated using pyproj code. Used this site to create approximate distances. (Haversine formula, so only accurate to within a few Km)

Foula's topography looks really strange by UK standards - it would look unremarkable if this island was in the nearby Faroe Islands or in Iceland.

I suspect the weird mazes of drainage channels will be the result of peat cutting.

Had to draw my own SVG lighthouse icon as I couldn't find one in QGIS :)

International Organization on Migration (IOM) showing an UN representative a large OSM print of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. This photo was taken in the DSWD Operations Center in Tacloban Airport. The map will be used to coordinate the relief and rescue efforts for the victims/survivors of Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. Data is from OpenStreetMap printed using MapOSmatic.org contributed by thousands of OSM volunteers for HOT's Typhoon Ylanda/Haiyan remote mapping activation. wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan.

A year of edits on OpenStreetMap. This image will be updated from time to time with a new current view.

The intensity of white and yellow shows areas of considerable recent activity.

heat map of OpenStreetMap tile usage for 25 May 2015.

Data copyright OpenStreetmap contributors (data from here).

Only shows tiles at zoom level 9... higher zoom levels (like 15-17) would give a better indication of possible editing activity.

Darker areas are more requested tiles. Done using deciles of the natural logarithm of number of tile requests

Used a short (<50 line) python script to convert the tile log (which is essentially a csv file) into another csv file with wkt for each tile's geometry added as a field. This was then brought into QGIS as a wkt delimited file. Simpler to do this than to mess around with creating shapefiles :)

Can see HOT humanitarian mapping hotspots in Nepal and the Phillipines.

There's a hotspot around (0,0), and an interesting great circle fragment over Russia, which might be someone panning on a globe?

Interesting to see that most of the inhabited parts of the world are being served

A map showing who has been making most edits to the USA coastline on OpenStreetMap. The originial coastline had many errors and inaccuracies and needs metre by metre attention. As of Dec 19th 2008 there is still work to do on the east coast and in the gulf of Mexico to ensure the whole coast meets the OSM coastline rules.
