about me

Hello I am Udar, a Miami Dade County based mapper going to MDC Kendal Campus. Thus most of my mapping is done in the Miami Dade area though I have done mapping outside of it, mostly using Go Map!! for that purpose. I usually don’t edit in areas I haven’t physically been to unless I notice an obvious issue like a dragged node in a commit that is otherwise good.

what I like to map

Most of my work is dedicated to updating alignment of roads and adding sidewalks and crossings, and generally improving pedestrian navigation. I also spend time every so often adding and updating land use such as grass, shrubbery, canal areas and retail areas along with others.

the editors I use

iD:

I mostly use iD for adding, realigning and major tagging updates for roads and sidewalks/crossings. I also do all of the land use editing with iD. recently I have started using iD from my iPad as before I was exclusively using it from my laptop, I now use it from both. most of my work to do with realignment of vehicle and pedestrian navigation features is done on my iPad while land use is done from the laptop, really anything that requires working with multipolygon’s is done on the laptop because from the iPad I know of no way to select multiple items and thus be able to merge two ways together.

Go Map!!:

I mostly use Go Map to edit ways, mostly sidewalks, crossings and roads along with adding stop signs and other signs that I can see with my own two eyes. usually when surveying I make changes tom sidewalks and crossings (and items attached to them) from Go Map!! and POI updates using Every door.

Every Door

I use Every Door for adding and editing POI’s and other such single point features. usually when I’m out surveying I will use both Go Map and Every Door in tandem making two commits one with each, using each for what I prefer to map with them.
