I played @OrnaRpg so I could take a look at how it's using #OpenStreetMap data. I'm now a level 51 mage.

I love seeing how removing technical, legal and financial barriers for geospatial data creates new applications and games.

I did another #MapperDiaries video...

Just a bit of #OpenStreetMap surveying. Not the best-edited video.

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

Attending & speaking @geomob was great fun last night.
I posted a little thread over on Mastodon:
https://t.co/sKVJ3HrR3x
How I got there, a comment on each of the talks, and some of the topics discussed over #geobeers afterwards.

Hop over that way to read it...

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

As declared on Mastodon, coigning of the term #geobeers has now been attributed to Steven Feldman

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

A little bit of #GeoTrivia

Do you know where & by whom the term "Geobeers" was first coigned?

If there's no correct answers in the replies, you'll have to come to #GeomobEdi on Tuesday & hear me speak about The Joys of GeoSocialising.

I've been finding @everydoorosm to be a brilliant app for editing #OpenStreetMap while out and about (or in a warm café with view of shops across the road).

This is my first video about it https://t.co/4fHYG21dj1

@tomasral @jmviglino @ArchivesMtp34 @david_leather @A_Lex_Map @IGNFrance @gontsa and, if you want the list of contributions I mentioned each day - with credit and links to their social media posts (including those not on Twitter)...

@renorosgon @openstreetmapmx @ProjectOSRM Thanks for creating this, fun colour choice.

I included it in part 2 of my #20daymapchallenge art review.

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

@citysbackyard @willy_maps @mzdraper @Mapbox Fun way to meet 2 prompts, and the thought of doing it made it worthwhile. Thanks for creating.

I included it in part 2 of my art review for #30DayMapChallenge https://t.co/xejF6w3Kct

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

November was #30DayMapChallenge with prompts for people to create maps.
I took a look at these, and picked out ones that I think worked really well as art.

Part 1 of my review is here

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

@pokateo_maps I should have saved that inspiring cup image, I could picture it while filming my review of #30daymapchallenge which included your map. Thanks.

I'm back into uploading videos about #OpenStreetMap.

Starting with some Mapping Tourism in South Africa.

Back in March I was stuck overnight at Heathrow Airport which was frustrating. Until I realised what was across the roundabout from my hotel!...

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

@jockmcgonzo @British_Airways Yeah, the first one "Manager Paul" almost looked the part. All reported & blocked (it shouldn't be difficult for X to proactively block them).

My next tactic might be to phone BA daily. Just have to get through the voice-activated options quicker.

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

@British_Airways I put in a refund request on 6/6/24 (delayed >8 hrs). You never e-mail or phone me. Every time I call I get told it's pending and I should wait another week.

When should I actually expect to hear from you?!!!

My ex gets in touch with me more than you do. 😢

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

@craig_allan_za @sotm It was 2020 that Cape Town was going to host SotM.

Yep, a little late but I enjoyed finally visiting the city/country. I helped organise and host SotM that year, online it was still a great event.

[Gregory Marler @gregorymarler]

Okay #OpenStreetMap fans, who knows where I took a selfie earlier this week?

I was told there was going to be a @sotm conference here, I hope I'm not too late!...
