iliazeus<p>A question for <a href="https://gts.iliazeus.lol/tags/openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> people.</p><p>I am traveling abroad in a couple weeks, and I plan to rely on OSM (via OsmAnd on my phone) for navigation. The place where I'm planning to go doesn't have its bus routes on OSM though, which is a pain, since I plan on mostly using public transport. I have managed to find on the interned several bus route maps; however, they are not laid out on an actual street map, instead just depicting the routes, stops, and a couple landmarks - like subway maps often do, basically. This makes them very hard to use for me, since I have no idea where all the stops are actually located.</p><p>I have zero experience working with OSM, or with any map-editing software, though.</p><p>Another issue is that I don't speak the language of that country. The place I'm going to visit is pretty touristy, so I expect to get by with my English. However, at least some of the more "newbie-oriented" OSM editors (like <a href="https://osm-simple-route-editor.kyle.kiwi/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this one</a>, for example) seem to default to rendering the map in the "native" language for that place. And that language uses a non-Latin writing system that I don't know and have no way of even inputting currently.</p><p>Considering all these limitations, what would be the easiest way to add those bus routes on the map?</p><p>If everything fails, I don't mind paying some money for a more experienced person to just do it for me. But I really want to try it myself first, though.</p><p>I also don't even really mind just having a way to have them displayed locally in OsmAnd, if adding them to the actual OSM data will not be possible.</p><p>(boosts appreciated!)</p><p><a href="https://gts.iliazeus.lol/tags/osm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSM</span></a> <a href="https://gts.iliazeus.lol/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a></p>

Jürgen Hubert<p>I am still planning a replacement for my Google MyMaps map of German folk tales, one based on <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> .</p><p>Reuirements include:</p><p>- I should not be required to host an entire map server.<br>- I should be able to integrate the maps into <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/MediaWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MediaWiki</span></a> wiki pages via plugins.</p><p>Last time I asked this question, I got a couple of good suggestions such as Umap and Leaflet that might fit the bill. However, since then I thought of a further requirement that would be _really_ useful for me:</p><p>Filterable tags for markers.</p><p>Let me explain: I want to put a bunch of markers on the map, and each refers to a folk tale. And then I want to tag some of them with "dragon", "witch", "treasure" and so forth - and then people should be able to filter them by these tags, so that only those tales that feature "dragons" or whatever on the map.</p><p>On the other hand, maybe people want to filter the tales by the book in which they first appeared, such as "Deutsche Sagen" by the Brothers Grimm. However, this means that those tags cannot be mutually exclusive - a tale might _either_ feature a dragon or be from "Deutsche Sagen", it might be both, or neither.</p><p>If there is truly no other way of doing this, I might have to do these "filters" as separate maps instead. But I _really_ don't want to do this the hard way unless I absolutely have to. So, can anyone help?</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>map</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/cartography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cartography</span></a> <br><a href="https://sunkencastles.com/german-folklore-map/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sunkencastles.com/german-folkl</span><span class="invisible">ore-map/</span></a></p>
