Working on the skerry coast around Frjalshöfn, it just happened that I imported 680.000 nodes into JOSM, spreading on a total edge length of about 4.500 km. This results in 150 nodes per kilometer, which means, one edge is 6 metres long on average. Don’t worry, I deleted everything. ;-) (Just for explanation: of course, I didn’t draw this by hand. I used the “how to create realistic forsest coverage” method from the wiki and then fractalized the shapes).

For an edgy coast line like a skerry coast, what node distance would be adequate? 20 metres? 50 metres?

Just a small question. Can I, either out of JOSM or out of OGF directly (or any other way), export map data as svg file? So far, I didn’t find a solution.

Hello everyone!

I am mapping in Indahtanah, a state in Lorotoban. It is a Timor-based island nation. You can read more about it here.

With that out of the way, I was mapping rural ‘stuff’ (farmland, crops, orchards, et cetera). But, I came to a part where the farmland meets with the forest (in this case, rather hilly). I can’t find any good examples of rice paddies or any mountainous farmland in Openstreetmap. If anyone has an example, can you please comment it down? I would like some inspiration mostly in an Asian place (rice is mostly grown in Asia anyway).

Hello everyone,

i am trying to map grids for my town. it takes very long to do and wastes time. how can i map grids faster?

thank you,

I noticed how there’s a line for a racetrack, but only non-motorsports. What should I use to make a motorsports track?

Cycleways are small infrastructure projects which makes cycling easier , for the experienced and inexperienced.I’m suprised with all the detail in some places that these have been left out. I have made a small section in Burnieside-Devonport which runs along Thnn xe s phers so.

I have realised that 1. My capital city has an unnatural shape 2. I have a bad rural-urban transition 3. My nation looks 3rd world. I put my country at 0.8 on the Global development index, but my maps don’t reflect that 4. I don’t have much land detail

So, with that said, most of my capital city will be getting deleted. However, some of the more dense shopping districts will not. Here is the plan: * Remove my Main Motorway. * Place trunk roads at intervals, in a gridlike style. * Have 1 or 2 motorways, depending on the development of other things. * Place small towns where trunk roads intersect, as well as a few other small towns scattered around. * Not every intersection will have a town, some will be larger towns or gas stations, others will be parks & tourism. * Detail the rural areas to have more areas like farmland. * Add more mountains and peaks.

I noticed when I was going to map my FS state how there’s some flooding in Archanta, is this happening for anyone else?

Hello to the community. After finishing Fort Vondréaux a few weeks ago, I decided to continue with Vondréaux , but I’m not sure about some points of the city’s configuration. I want to keep my mapping standard as much as I can, and therefore I ask your opinions about the project (suggestions for re-mapping are accepted).

Happy mapping,

As Nordurland is quite vast and many parts of the country are unvisited by me for long times, I quite regularly find guerrilla mappings from new OFG members. Most of them are useless, some of them are really funny (but not useful in any way), but some very few stand out. This city for example. I’ve decided to keep it (even if I will rename it to a more Icelandic sounding name) as it is a quite complete, decent sketch of a city.

Did you ever stumbled upon guerrilla mappings that you found worthy enough to assimilate?

Hey everybody,

during the last weeks, I finally decided to touch a very hot potato which bothers me for at least two years: the Frjalshöfn area.

The Frjalshöfn area was one of my early mapping projects in terms of landscaping. At the very beginning of the OGF history, Thilo wrote a diary entry where he encouraged us mappers to shape their countries individually and creatively. He also linked some interesting topographical spots. The Stockholm area was within these links. And I wanted to let Frjalshöfn be like Stockholm.

In my opinion, I failed. This became more than clear to me when I visited Stockholm last year. And even worse, The Frjalshöfn area in itself is totally unrealistic. Where should the water for this specific landforming come from? In the hinterland, I imagined a mountainous landscape, however, the distance to Grænnshöfn is only approx. 75 kilometers. There is no room for the forming of large rivers with that amount of sedimentation. I was aware of that problem quite early, but I mapped on, adding more and more infrastructure to the unfinishedd geography, deciding to solve the problem of verisimilitude at a later time.

Hi, as part of the review into Archantan territories we are reworking a number of territories to the south of the Federal States. This is the area: https://opengeofiction.net/relation/1001

The aim is to create a single country where the individual states, or portions of them, will be assigned to users. The hope is this will lead to more coherent mapping. However, in a difference to the Federal States, we are keen to not base this tightly on a real-world country, instead having the involved users come up with their own imaginative collaborative country.

Linguistically it will be:

• Majority Franquese (French) 50%
• One of the OGF-equivalent of Polish, Czech, Hungarian or Serbo-Croat (Latin alphabet) as an additional official language 30%
• Ingerlish (English) 10%, but only where already mapped
• Indigenous 10%

The capital city will be in a majority Franquese province.

Two coordinators are being sought to help with this project - French language skills being desirable for one and the additional official language for the other. Please contact wangi if you are interested.

Existing users of those territories which are affected have already been contacted, with many signing up and a couple taking the opportunity to move territory instead. Other interested users please post here, or preferably, on the forum post.

Thanks/L

Kinda proud of the Excelsior Thermal Area in Border Mountains National Park…

Some more work needs to be done, but I’m on a roll here

Trying to make an island in alake I created, but it’s just not showing up. I’ve looked through some OSM tutorials on this, but I still cannot get the boundary of the island to show up. ANy thoughts?

Hello all!

I’ve been mapping a bit less frequently lately due to college starting up (and a new relationship - eeek!) but I am still logging in every few days to check messages and map a bit, although since it is for shorter periods of time I am mainly working on putting in details in rural areas (smaller roads, little towns, canton and township boundaries, hills, lakes, farms, etc.) rather than any major projects. It’s actually quite calming to map like that, and I’m left wondering why so many mappers tend to overlook the rural areas in favor of mapping city after city after city (no offense to anyone whose territory is entirely urban, just my opinions).

I’m going to look for a different spot and start from scratch

-deleted-

This is the final result, i am posting it here so you can tell me what shall i fix (or completly delete if needed :/) because i’m pretty new to this (7 days). 7 days of mapping, i changed the language which i used to have here due to it not being any official language of the country i’m mapping in (Gobrassanya, so it’s open-to-all territory) to Ingerish.

EDIT: There might be some scale issues i will want to fix.

Hi all! I’ve got a basic airport sketched out for Seniqe, but I’ve seen some really amazingly detailed airports around the OGF world and am hoping one of you has a special love of mapping these kinds of sites. If you are interested in mapping Seniqe’s airport in detail, please shoot me a DM with an example or two of airports you’ve created in the past. Thank you!

After a several year hiatus, I decided to work in a common area . I figured on building a National Park.
