Grote Routepaden VZW maintains 24 long-distance hiking trails in Flanders. They are always trying to improve the trails. That’s why Grote Routepaden is now looking at path surface. Unpaved paths are simply more fun to walk on. Their analysis relies on OSM data and Overpass queries. However, it quickly became clear that too few roads have a surface tag. At the moment, about 50% to 70% of a GR trail has a surface tag. To improve this, Grote Routepaden is going to add OSM data via a MapComplete theme. User s8evq has made a theme that easily adds the surface tag to roads along a GR. This tool will be distributed to GR’s 250 volunteers in the coming weeks. They often have enough terrain knowledge to add the data, or will go on site to add data.

The names of public spaces (streets, avenues, squares and others) define the identity of a city and how citizens interact with it. Most cities suffer from a major inequality between male and female street names and we want to help fix this.

Join us for a free full day of talks and discussions about OpenStreetMap in Brussels, on Thursday November 17th 2022.
The OSGEO community (the people behind tools like QGIS and much more) have been organizing a conference for their users and developers since 2015. In 2019 we did an OSM track during the conference. Then covid happened, but now we’re back with a fully shared conference. There’s two equal tracks. The FOSS4G track focuses on the use and development of open source geo software. Meanwhile, the State of the Map track focuses on OSM in Belgium. Expect talks on the challenges of working with OpenStreetMap data and about projects to improve the map.
In September 2022 our Corporate Member Anyways.eu invited us to share their booth at the Trefdag Digitaal Vlaanderen (NL). We had a blast! All day long, people from the geo world, from the private sector and the government came by to ask questions, thank us for our work or simply chat with the people behind the map.

For years, OpenStreetMap Belgium has worked with close to no budget at all. We also didn’t have much costs, so it wasn’t a real issue. Being part of OpenKnowledge Belgium meant we still had access to a professional organisation whenever needed.
But as OpenStreetMap in Belgium grows, this is no longer a good way of working. At the same time, we noticed that more and more companies build their businesses around OpenStreetMap data. They have an interest in being part of the community. We decided to solve both problems by introducing a Corporate Membership program. For our Corporate Members, we offer the following benefits:
