Map-Less Map Editors
Ilya Zverev

The common theme for OSM editors is presenting a map for moving things around. But for attribute editing, a map is too distracting. Let's see how getting rid of it improves the editing experience.

Journey to improving the Navigation experience for Grab Driver partners using OSM
aparna alla, Jinal Foflia

Grab launched a navigation product for Driver partners in 2018 with the help of OSM. We contributed to OSM data in Singapore and made it navigation ready to enable launching in-app navigation for Grab's driver partners. This talk is a glimpse of the journey to get the map data quality and in turn the product experience to be the best suited one for driver partners in Singapore.

Identifying Unmapped Highway in OSM
Emiliani Dewi, Yantisa Akhadi

This workshop will introduce two methods on how to identify unmapped highways in OSM. First by making a comparison between OSM and government (open) data, second by calculating the distance between population and OSM highway data. This method will assist OSM contributors to understand where are the unmapped highway without having to manually check the imagery and what is on OSM. The workshop will be delivered using open-source GIS software and publicly accessible data.

MapaTanda: Mapping for and with the Ageing Population
Kris Libunao

This is a project that seeks to improve the number and quality of data in OpenStreetMap that are important and relevant to older adults (senior citizens) and the ageing population (60+ years old).

Ethical Mapping with and for People Living with Vulnerability
Courtney Clark

Today’s world of geospatial technology and data is evolving quickly. However, the lives of those living with vulnerability may not be improving, yet are shaped by new technologies. The communities who stand to benefit most from improving technologies, including mapping, are instead increasingly left out of key conversations, opportunities, and developments that center around their lives and their data. This panel will discuss ethical issues around mapping with and for communities living in vulnerability.

The panalists are Edoardo Neerhut, Paromita Basak, Innocent Maholi, Rosario Casanova, Erica Hagen

has recently received a major update of the algorithm that computes addresses
from the boundaries and places in OSM. This talk first introduces the new
algorithm, explains the background and how it translates to tagging.
We'll then take a step back and explore the larger

Last year, over 6000 images including 5762 entrances, 1767 flights of steps, 645 barriers and 241 info boards were contributed to the 30000 entrances mapped in Helsinki, Finland. The mapping project will continue this summer.

OpenStreetMap and the neglected pedestrian
Edoardo Neerhut

Pedestrians have been neglected. We’ve seen monumental progress in digital maps, but much of this has been road centric. In this presentation we download data from OpenStreetMap that relates to pedestrians to see how much it differs from the reality on the ground. We contrast different types of cities, seek to understand why pedestrian data is lacking, and look at solutions such as Mapillary that can help make OpenStreetMap more pedestrian friendly.
