@abeorch@fosstodon.org @abeorch@lemmy.ml @openstreetmap to an extent. E.g. the seamark variant of that feature is meant to render in that view.

Annoying the closest one I can find tagged as for land doesn't seem to be showing up on my phone. This is a bit confusing as it's listed in taginfo as being used for creating maps.

I don't know if it's any good but in theory I think OsmAnd can route over canals in its 'Nautical' theme.

It supposedly shows amenity=sanitary\_dump\_station so if a pump out has that tag it could be handy for some users. but at the moment all it's doing for me is crash.

I think the key feature of the picture on the wiki is that they have visible lift points near the corners.

In some of the pictures they have been filled, but in others they haven't.

I suppose there could be something tricky going on, but that just looks like normal concrete with 'joints' that have been cut or cast into it after it has been poured in situ. I think the concrete plate tag is for pre-cast bits that are made somewhere else and then brought in and dropped in place.

Apparently they're using a more detailed index for the app that isn't supported in the web.

(And yeah, I did call that an F-Droid Anti-Feature when I found out that you have to have to install something for this to be displayed in an intuitive way.)

The postbox thing is apparently an issue with the presets they use. The presets are from another project so it's considered "blocked".

I don't know how you'd get round the dev using his own site to pre-process (already published) data or host a list of "banned versions" with bugs that could corrupt data. You can't really choose to have a different developer on the fly.

Maybe you could let people chose a different host for a published photo, but I think if there were privacy respecting ones that easily allowed that the dev probably would have use those instead?

If I view source I get "phrase not found" on a search for "Jawg" . It also doesn't show up in Firefox's Inspector, which I _think_ includes dynamically loaded stuff.

Just checked Chrome and Microsoft Edge and they don't show it either. What are you using to actually get the detail?

I wouldn't mind F-Droid's warning if they gave me the details, but for some reason they don't seems to be accessible to me.

Very slim. But their privacy policies are online if you're concerned.

You free labour all goes to the OpenStreetMap database licensed under the Open DataBase License.

It caused a lot of fake stuff to be added to OSM even though its update frequency was slow enough that very little of the fake stuff actually made it into Pokemon Go.

I think it did bring in a few good mappers too though so it wasn't all bad.

In my browser that can't be expanded and clicking on it just takes you to their definition of "Non-Free Network Services" https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/#NonFreeNet

So they're complaining that an OpenStreetMap app is tied to OpenStreetMap related services and hiding this in a way that makes it look worse than it is.

This dramatically lowers my opinion of F-Droid.

@Danitos @AngryCommieKender @openstreetmap

IIRC that was pulled out of the app into a separate companion app (StreetMeasure) ages ago.

F-Droid is complaining about "non-changeable or non-free network service".

It doesn't seem to say _which_ network service this is, which I think is quite scummy behaviour TBH.
