4 - Links - Openstreetmap

Openstreetmap: sito e tool principali

Openstreetmap:

• OpenStreetMap: il sito principale dove visualizzaze ed editare (con l’editor iD) il contenuto del DB OSM.

• Wiki OpenStreetMap: contiene tutta la documentazione OSM. Alcune pagine particolarmente importanti:

  • OSM Map features: pagina fondamentale con la classificazione di tutti i tag principali

• Per l’interazione con la comunità OSM esistono vari canali, alcuni globali, altri specifici italiani:

  • Forum: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/
  • Elenco di tutte le mailing list: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mailing_lists
  • Mailing list di OSM italia: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-it
  • Canale Telegram OSM Italia: https://t.me/OpenStreetMapItalia. In realtà questo canale è quello antispam da cui passare per essere messi nel canale vero

Altri siti principali:

• Osmose-QA: “Osmose-QA è uno strumento per il controllo della qualità che individua i problemi nei dati OpenStreetMap."

• OverPass API: le specifiche dell’API per estrarre dati dal DB OSM. Vedere anche il manuale.

• OverPass Turbo: pagina web dove provare l'OverPass API costruendo e modificando query con un semplice wizard

• TagInfo: “OpenStreetMap uses tags of the form key=value to add meaning to geographic objects. Taginfo collects information about these tags from several sources to help you understand what they mean and how they are used."

• Relation Analyzer: “analyzes OSM relations for gaps”. Utile per analizzare i sentieri (che sono relazioni che uniscono way)

Openstreetmap & sentieristica

Interrogazione e visualizzazione sentieristica

• WayMarked Trails: "[…] website that shows recreational routes from OpenStreetMap and lets you inspect the routes and selected details”. Utilissimo per visualizzare percorsi e segnavia. Codice disponibile su GitHub.
• Destination Signs: “shows the content of relations with type=destination_sign, direction_* tags on guideposts as well as destination tags on highways and guideposts.". Utile per visualizzare i segnavia. Codice disponibile su GitHub.
• Mapy.cz: Un sito fatto particolarmente bene dal punto di vista grafico dove visualizzare cartografia, strade, sentieri e informazioni turistiche.

Pianificazione itinerari

Tramite questi siti che hanno funzionalità di Routing, è possibile costruire itinerari escursionistici e salvare le relative tracce GPX. Molto utili in fase di pianificazione delle escursioni.

• AllTrails: Occorre registrarsi, ma permette di fare tutto gratis
• Komoot: Per usarlo bene occorre fare un abbonamento a pagamento
• Outdoor Active: Per usarlo bene occorre fare un abbonamento a pagamento

Visualizzazione ed editing GPX

Siti che permettono la visualizzazione di file GPX su cartografia. In alcuni casi permettono l’editing.

• GPX Studio: visualizza i GPX su basemaps di cartografia e layer overlay addizionali. Molto interessante per esempio la possibilità di visualizzare come overlay WayMarked Trails.
• UMAP: Permette di creare mappe personalizzate, anche caricando GPX
• GPS Visualizer: “GPS Visualizer is an online utility that creates maps and profiles from geographic data”

OSM & CAI - Catasto digitale dei sentieri

Si rimanda anche alla pagina dedicata al Corso SOSEC.

• Pagina CAI su OSM: riporta per esempio i tag da utilizzare quando si modificano oggetti OSM che riguardano sentieri, rifugi e altri oggetti CAI su OSM.
• Pagina REI su OSM: informazioni sulla Rete Escursionistica Italiana gestita dal CAI.
• GeoResQ: Sito collegato all’app GeoresQ, dove si possono visualizzare e scaricare le tracce registrate con l’app.
• OSM2CAI: Piattaforma software per importare dati sui sentieri presenti su OSM nel DB CAI usato per i siti istituzionali CAI.

Cartografia online

• Geoscopio Regione Toscana: strumento webgis con cui è possibile visualizzare ed interrogare i dati geografici della Regione Toscana.
• Geoscopio Toscana - Sentieristica: visualizzazione della sentieristica CAI della regione Toscana.

Cartografia offline

8 - Software Utilities

• ncdu: NCurses Disk Usage. Ncdu is a disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find space hogs on a remote server where you don’t have an entire graphical setup available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.
