Persisting your ids … This is not about the Linux Foundations Overture Maps attempt to hoodwink the Open Geospatial Consortium into standardising Overtures GERS (Global Entity Reference System) . There is so little technical content available in that proposal that it is difficult to write even a short paragraph about it. But it is motivated by Overtures attempt to engage in the great American tradition of selling snake oil by suggesting that GERS solves real problems . None of the following is new, and all this...

We've updated our FAQ sosm.ch/modi-faq/ to the MODI bill to reflect changes in how swisstopo is positioning their Verkehrsnetz CH product in the run up to the guaranteed passing of the bill in this months parliamentary session.

OGC Seeks Public Comment on Justification for the Global Entity Reference System (GERS) Framework as an OGC Community Standard · Issue #3 · opengeospatial/requests details coming soon

There is a lot that could be said from a technical pov and Paul Norman has touched on some of them.

But the OMF is simply not an acceptable body for anything and that is where this discussion should stop.

Finish/Update Änderung der Hausnummerierung Ortsteil Ittenthal

Ah yes digital sovereignty is when you bend over backwards to update google but can't be bothered to give the open alternative even just a heads up www.kaisten.ch/aktuellesinf...

Anyway I think I've caught and updated all of the addresses in #OpenStreetMap , tricky because some of them got reused.

21.2.0 Release notes - Vespucci Main site for Vespucci the Android OpenStreetMap Editor

We've released V21.2, as our 'traditional' end-of-year release.

There are some minor changes relative to the beta, most notably the addition of a warning if you are moving a way that has a majority of its nodes off screen.

Very minor mystery:

Does anybody know what happened with the UUCP maps for Switzerland in 1989/1990? That is likely u.che.0 and u.che.1.

Up to 1989 Dietrich Wiegandt (who ran cernvax at CERN) posted them to comp.mail.maps, and from 1991 on I posted them from chsun (the CHUUG/EUnet Switzerland).

Blatten VS - Gletscher-Abbruch Darf man da die Gebäude schon als “abgerissen” und die Strasse als blockiert markieren? Wird definitiv nicht so schnell behoben sein.

Just in case you are wondering .... we are deliberately letting the building in Blatten VS standing for a couple of days , we -could- have re-tagged them yesterday afternoon.

It really shouldn’t matter if you are building your app or service on Tomtom, Here, google, apple, #OpenStreetMap or swisstopo data and services, the technology is there to make the mobility infrastructure (MODI) vendor agnostic, what is missing is the political will to require it.

Today the Swiss Federal Council finalised its proposal for a mobility data law to the Swiss parliament.

Should be good news, but unluckily isn't. See sosm.ch/de/stellungs... for our statement (English here sosm.ch/statement-on...).
