I’ve been contributing to Google Maps for a while, specifically, I usually upload pictures of menu’s from restaurants, so future visitors can see them before they decide to eat there! I’m trying to degoogle my life a bit & was wondering if there is a way I could contribute these to OSM?
You must log in or # to comment.
I’ve also wondered this. I’d also like to contribute info on how busy places generally are around me, so you know to show up early if you want a table, or don’t bother dining in on a weekend, etc.
Apparently MapComplete integrated mangrove.reviews, and you can upload pictures from MapComplete, so that may be the best option for now?
There’s also https://lib.reviews/ which is Creative Commons licensed. Looks like there’s open issues to integrate that into OSM via a plugin: https://github.com/eloquence/lib.reviews/issues/319
Map complete looks great ~ but there doesn’t seem to be an Android app for it. It would be neat if organic maps could integrate with mangrove.reviews.
You can install it as progressive web app (basically a glorified bookmark on your home page, opening full screen giving an ‘app’-experience).
I might package it as Android app one day, but that is something that’ll take some time (and hopefully funding from NlNet).
If the menu is available on a website you can link to it by adding the
website:menutag. These will show on Organic Maps for examplehttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key%3Awebsite%3Amenu
See for example this bar that Organic Maps shows the link to the Menu:
Mate Bar https://omaps.app/0ysrTcXR-t/Mate_Bar om://0ysrTcXR-t/Mate_Bar
In my experience website menus aren’t incredibly common, perhaps I could upload the photo and link that though.
I’ve added ‘image:menu’ and ‘website:menu’ to https://mapcomplete.org/food . With it, you can now upload an image of the menu with a few clicks.
@pietervdvn: cool, did not know that page. Where is it uploading to?
The images to imgur are backed up in case they get deleted from imgur for whatever reason btw.
And soon :tm: they’ll be uploaded to an open source image hosting system but I still need to get that online
