Ich habe soeben die aktuelle Version der #OFM ( #OpenFietsMap) vom 02. März, auf meinem #Garmin und in #BaseCamp installiert 🗺️ 🚲 😀
Nicht, dass ich die neueste Version unbedingt brauchen würde, aber wer weiß schon, wohin mich mein Fahrrad führt 😉

Google Maps can now navigate inside tunnels, like Waze does, using Bluetooth beacons
A new feature spotted by SmartDroid allows the Android version of the app to use Bluetooth beacons to track your location in areas where GPS signals typically can’t reach.
These beacons transmit Bluetooth signals that give location data to your phone, according to the Google-owned Waze, which already supports the feature. The app then uses this information along with the device’s mobile connectivity to “provide real-time traffic data as it would with a typical GPS connection.”
The only caveat is that the feature will only work if the tunnel you’re travelling through has Bluetooth beacons installed.
So, this is going to depend on whether these beacons exist in your tunnels and whether there is a partnership in place. But for commuters that regularly travel through long tunnels, this could be pretty useful. It does seem, too, that Waze on iOS already also has this functionality.
I would think though that any static Bluetooth, or even Wi-Fi SSID, could be used to determine locations, if the app knows which of those beacons are located where.
Why would you actually need to know where you are inside a tunnel? I’m not sure, but it sounded like an interesting way of using existing technology to fill some empty gaps.

2010-05-31: A trip from Cascastel to Bages
We did almost all those long and short trips during our vacations on our two road bikes. This was one of the rare exceptions. We drove our car from our quartier in Cascatel to Bages near Narbonne, for visiting a restaurant that was recommended to us.
A view from Bages, France
Years ago, in 2019, I published a report of three of our bike tours in the long defuct disapora node #Pluspora, in German language. Diasp.org doesn't have it cached, there still is no way to restore a from a backup to another node using the original timeline and metadata and most probable never will come to be. So I just republish part of the original markdown from 2019-06-25 asis in German, further down below. Just for context, this is the first paragraph of that old text, translated to English:
I spent most of my time on my bike on the way to and from work, which was good for my health, but there's not much to tell or show. It's a different story when I've been on vacation over the past few decades, where I've taken lots of photos and, since the advent of navigation systems, also recorded GPX tracks. I would now like to prepare these accordingly so that I can show them to my family as a photo book and also publicly on the web as a rendered scene.
Some of the links in the original text are defunct, too, #Gpsies for example doesn't exists anymore, not even as a partial backup via archive.org, because archive.org unfortunately wasn't able to backup dynamic content from that source at that time - and because I was naive enough to believe that such a nice service would live for a a long time. :-/
2019-06-25 - GPX-Tracks von Radtouren mit Höheninformationen darstellen
Die meiste Zeit auf dem Fahrrad habe ich auf dem Weg zur und von der Arbeit verbracht, das war zwar gut für die Gesundheit, aber es gibt davon nicht viel zu erzählen oder zu zeigen. Anders die Radtouren in Urlauben der vergangenen Jahrzehnte, da habe ich viel fotografiert und, seit es dafür geeignete Navis gab, auch GPX-Tracks aufgezeichnet. Die möchte ich nun entsprechend aufbereiten, um sie dann im Familenumfeld als Fotobuch und z.T. auch öffentlich im Web herumzuzeigen, als gerenderte Szene.
Etwa folgendermaßen:
Wie gesagt, vieles landete einfach unsortiert im Archiv, ein paar Bilder und Tracks hatte ich aber auf eigenen Webseiten oder bei Onlineservices veröffentlicht, z.B. auch die oben gezeigte Tour Cascastel/Tuchan bei GPSIES.
Mein aktuelles Projekt besteht darin, vorhandene Tracks thematisch bzw. regional zusammenzufassen und Landkarte, Höheninformationen, Tracks und ein paar Bilder in einer 3D-Ansicht zusammenzufassen. Ein paar der hier gezeigten vorläufigen Zwischenergebnisse basieren auf der oben verlinkten Track aus Mitte 2010, die mir gewissermaßen als Übungsbeispiel und zur Demonstration dient.

sieht bei Google so aus.

Google Maps will dodge South Africa’s crime hotspots: Sadly it is needed as tourists have been misdirected
Google Maps will avoid directing motorists through crime hotspots, Pretoria FM reports.
This comes after tourism minister Patricia de Lille and Google country director Alistair Mokoena signed a memorandum of understanding at Parliament on Monday.
Just this last week, a US tourist (thankfully without his family) was directed off the N2 freeway to avoid traffic congestion. The problem is he was directed into an area that is notorious for muggings and attacks. He was shot in the face (without any prior warning) and thankfully he is alive and well. But only a month or two ago, a UK doctor also took a wrong turn off the same freeway and was killed. Locals obviously avoid these off ramps if they can.
It should be noted that this recent case was with an iPhone and there is NO mention of what navigation app was actually used. Google has been the first to respond to take action, and I’ve raised this with Waze last week (still no reply). There is a fair chance it was actually Apple Maps being used, but we don’t know right now.
This stretch of N2 freeway is especially dangerous and a Provincial Traffic patrol, and also a temporary police station, was set up there years ago (not sure if it is still there). Generally, during daylight hours the stretch from the airport to the city is fairly safe, as long as you don’t take any of the turn-offs between the airport and the Jan Smuts Drive turn off. I’d really expect too that any car rental company, at the airport, would thoroughly brief any foreigners before letting them drive off.
So, although we’ve seen warnings for isolated crime hot spots before, they have not actually been routed around crime hot spots properly.

The Secret System That Allows Waze to Find Faster Routes Than Google Maps: The difference is more than just cosmetic
Waze might look like “just another navigation app” at first glance, but in reality, the Google-owned software provides a more advanced feature package that you won’t find elsewhere.
The first thing you must know is that Waze does not record the location of traffic lights and stop signs for a simple reason: its routing engine doesn’t think this data is relevant to how routes are calculated.
Waze was designed to look for faster routes, so it doesn’t care about the location of traffic lights. Instead, it’s particularly interested in the impact on traffic conditions, so the application doesn’t look at the location of a traffic light but how it slows down traffic. Waze always looks for the fastest route, so if a traffic light produces a significant slowdown and long waiting lines, the application eventually searches for an alternate route.
The longer the queue at a traffic light, the bigger the impact on traffic. Waze could eventually flag the road segment before the traffic light as “slow,” so the application would no longer favour the main road over secondary streets.
However, no navigation app is actually perfect. Google Maps is better at starting a route without any Internet connection, whereas Waze needs an Internet connection to initiate a route. Therefore, having more than one app for navigation is beneficial, as they are different. Moreover, some apps based on OpenStreetMap have made significant progress and can alert drivers about speed bumps and other obstacles that may slow down their journey.
Of course, Waze’s crowdsourced warnings for issues along the way, and even their speed limit warnings, are “streets” ahead of Google Maps!

Cosmic rays could help us get around indoors, underground, and underwater: Has some pros and cons vs GPS
No, it’s not an April Fools’ Joke (which is what I thought at first reading). “Cosmic-ray muons fall equally across the Earth and always travel at the same speed regardless of what matter they traverse, penetrating even kilometres of rock,” said researcher Hiroyuki Tanaka.
It certainly bypasses any attempts to spoof it or jam it, and it has way better penetration than GPS, but it due to its nature, accuracy is only around 2 m to 25 m right now.
