(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% OpenStreetMap, and updated daily. Something missing on WWM.org means something missing on OSM. You can fix that yourself!

(I made WaterwayMap.org) There isn't a legend, because all waterways are treated the same.

(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% from OpenStreetMap. I only have to deal with 1 dataset. I suspect people have imported data from Massachusetts into OSM, hence why you see the edge. You can edit OSM to connect things up yourself.

(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% OpenStreetMap. It's possible many rivers are missing the `boat` tag (which that uses). If you add the missing tag, then it'll appear on WWM.org tomorrow!

> For bigger rivers that I'm familiar with I was not able to make sense of that number. […] Maybe it's the total length of that waterway and all connected waterways? Correct. (I made WaterwayMap.org)

> “The "Navigable by canoe" filter seems to filter out everything” The data is 100% from OpenStreetMap. That map only looks at things with the `canoe` tag in OSM. There are a lot of waterways in OSM which do not have this tag

Lovely! I'm Irish, we don't have it as much. But I'd love to do a canal boat holiday. Doddleing along the canals, stopping in a lovely english country pub... oh I can dream. I made WaterwayMap.org, and one of the view is for

(I'm the creator of this) Yes lots of rivers are missing those sort of connections through lakesᵉᵗᶜ, but that's not unique to USA. Please keep mapping to fix up things.

Hi! I'm the creator of this tool! I'm open to more feedback, and suggestions. Even related views. Lots of people discovering OSM through this, which is great. This sort of tool is new, so we're all just fixing up lots of litt

I'm the creator of this. Yes, it's precomputed on a computer, but it only takes ~30 mins to calculate each view. Most of that time is file I/O (which I really need to refactor) follow me on fedi/masto for more news: <

I think there have been screenshots of group chats where politicians have said something embarassing. This is a case where the politician would have no problem saying “That's a fake”

That's just one (knowledable & influential) person's opinion. “OSM” itself doesn't “have views” on topics as complicated as that.

That sounds like your problem is with Apple, not OSM.

A server capable of hosting a minutely updated global OSM tileserver costs about €100 per month on Hetzner. That's not nothing, but “crazy” it is not.

The tile servers were under massive load, and massively negatively affecting performance. Many people were not happy

That's for the website tiles. If a transit authority is using OSM data , they would download & process it directly themselves, and hence this doesn't apply at all.

> Note that the basic router on openstreetmap.org is just a tech demo Huh? On the OSM.org website you can use Graphhopper or OSRM routing engines. Both are not "tech demos", but proper real routing engines for real world use.

The OSMF is currently working on updated Attribution Guidelines, which should go some way to address some of this, and will probably adopt something within the next month or two. So the situation is currently fluid.
