Finding new images for OSM Wiki - help welcomed!

That is an easy one:

I had already a look for an AED in a vending machine but that is giving more AED’s besides vending machines apart from this one:

Would be good to make a cut-out of the left side as there is now to much other distracting stuff on the picture.

this seems to be still moving, not stuck

For something really stuck, see:

It follows more the original picture where also no road/path is visible.

I am now looking for a good replacement for File:Wicket gate.jpg - OpenStreetMap Wiki within a fence


Looking for a small gate for pedestrians, without extra confusing context

Help would be welcomed! (taking a own picture also may be a good idea)

I’d look no further than the English OSM wiki page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Abarrier%3Dwicket_gate. There are two examples on there.

As an aside the term “wicket gate” isn’t used much in modern English - they’d normally be described as some sort of “pedestrian access”. However, there are more than a few cases where archaic English lives on in OSM, even relatively modern inventions like https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3De-cigarette - these are almost uniformly referred to as “vape shops” in the UK.

Thanks!

I am now looking for an alternative image of bike pods: File:Bikepods.JPG - OpenStreetMap Wiki


And closeups of bicycle signposts: File:Ncn1-Cramond.JPG - OpenStreetMap Wiki (I have not looked hard for this one but help is also appreciated)

Some context is surely needed here - what are you actually looking for? A direct replacement for that one, or something else?

ideally direct replacement: closeup of route 1 in national cycle network of UK - of higher quality if possible, if not then closeup of other UK bicycle signpost

but other bicycle signpost closeup would also work - potentially more complicated replacements like tweaking descriptions would be needed and there is a higher risk that people would be sad about a change

@Richard may have access to several photos of signs as I believe he has installed them in the past.

Here’s one with NCN route 442 - my pic and you’re welcome to use it under any licence conditions you like. https://twitter.com/richardf/status/1623985172084400129/photo/2

(Also quite a rare picture - in the UK, at least - of a European walking route sign!)

The image is called Bike pod, what is mapped is bicycle_parking=streetpod.

Not too many mapped, taginfo can tel there are 237 streetpods (0.05%) mapped, I could not find an image on Wikimedia Commons.

Then extracted them and found that most are scattered through Europe but there is one concentration for Newcastle upon Tyne. I did ping the most frequent mapper.

Just to confirm: is everything OK with File:European walking route sign in Britain.jpeg - Wikimedia Commons ?

(do you remember exact date or exact location? Though for location I guess I can try tracking it down…)

are they having any freely licensed images?

42

The issue is the licensing - being able to download it doesn’t mean it’s a freely licensed image with the rights to reuse it.

Here you go, it’s copyright free:

Let me know if you’d like me to have DALL-E insert some space aliens while we’re at it :smiley:

So by bike “pod” are you referring to those docks like you have on short-term bicycle rentals that you have an any urban area?

Key:bicycle_parking - OpenStreetMap Wiki claims these are used as public bicycle parking

46

cool, these appear to have foldable front wheels :wink:

That picture is used here, and a search for those with images finds this, the picture of which seems to have moved here. That one may well be mistagged, but given that there are only 245 worldwide, I suspect it wouldn’t be that hard for the person with the itch that needs scratching here to find a cluster near where people add StreetComplete picture notes, and tie the two together :slight_smile:
