I need to know how can I hide the marker layer in OpenStreetMaps using a GeoJSON file. This is because many of these markers (eg restaurants, shops, etc.) have not been around for years.
So I can update the map as the information appears.
If a restaurant or shop has “not been around for years” then it shouldn’t be in OpenStreetMap as a restaurant or shop. If a shop is now some other shop, you can edit the map (zoom in and click the “edit” button) and say what is there now.
To answer the other part of your question, there is no separate “marker layer” in OpenStreetMap as such - it’s just a big pile of data. Things that extract from that to create a map that you can see sometimes create layers as they go, but not all do. When you say “the marker layer in OpenStreetMaps” which map or app are you referring to?
I saw the Apple iPhone app and use OpenStreetMap, I want to do something similar. I also want to be part of the OpenStreetMap team and help update the map.
My plan is to have a pinless map for companies to identify their position, then update the OSM.
Another problem is I did a test (renaming correctly an area and adding a pin), and save it, but I did not see the update that I did.
The record of a renaming or otherwise altering the underlying map data is called “changeset”. There is no pinning assocated with changesets.
I have a feeling part of the misunderstanding is due to language issues. Normally i would suggest to yse your native language and let the built-in translator convert it as needed. Though at this point we are very confused by your descriptions of what software you are using. At this please just include it’s name so we have point of reference.
First, I edit an area, this is the info:
Way: Casa AlcaldĂa de San Juan (252692668)
Version #5
BoricuaTour Maps update test.
* Edited about 22 hours ago by rafaelmsa
* Changeset #133366553
Second, I insert a pin and this is the info:
Node: Casa AlcaldĂa de San Juan (10716618413)
Version #1
BoricuaTour Maps update test.
* Edited about 22 hours ago by rafaelmsa
* Changeset #133368882
* Location: 18.4655410, -66.1166828
Then, using another browser I went to the map to see the changes, but I did not see the changes.
About my language, my first langue is computer language (php, html, css and java), then Spanish and English.
There are several different “base maps” you can use (some with more details, some with less details - which seems you want) under your pins (and many different styles of pins, of course).
Then it produces interactive map in any web browser (including mobile ones).
