OSM Apps Catalog is a website that shows applications and services that use OSM data. The main goal is to show users who want to switch to OpenStreetMap a nice overview and ways to participate. The list of applications is taken from the OpenStreetMap Wiki, Wikidata, GitHub and Taginfo project list.
How it works
All pages in the wiki that use a Software, Service item or Layer template are crawled and the information about the application is extracted and displayed for filtering and comparison.
How to document a new software
Step 0: Check whether there is already a page for the app in this wiki. Use the search function to do this.
Step 1: Create a new wiki page for the app you want to add to the OSM App Catalog. Use the small green form below to do this. (Ensure you are logged in.)
Step 2: Edit the details.
Step 3: Save your page.
Congratulations! You've just added a page and document a software.
How to remove a app from the list
Add status = unfinished or status = broken on the Software template from the wiki page about the app.
You can also delete the Software or Service item template or mark the website link to the app as offline with <s>...</s> or <strike>...</strike>.
How to check and clean up apps
Improve the documentation about Software in the OpenStreetMap Wiki and the Service items in the List of OSM-based services.
- Add missing or undocumented services to the wiki. Create a wiki page and document with Software Template
- Move services that are offline, but whose source code still exists, to the offline section (otherwise remove it), or mark them as unfinished or broken
- Reorganize the categories and services
- Mark regional maps with local
- Clean up names, replace domains/url with description from the website title
- Add missing screenshots
- Replace http with https where possible
How to make translations
You can make translations ...
- for the OSM Apps Catalog on Weblate
- for the apps documented in OpenStreetMap Wiki
How to export a comparison to wiki.openstreetmap.org
Step 1: Compare apps
- Go to osm-apps.org/docs
- Choose your language
- Go to the search page
- Set the filters how you like.
- Click on "Compare".
Step 2: Generate text/a table for the wiki.
- Click on the share icon next to the title of a category. (Only fields from this category will be exported. If an app does not support any feature of this category, it will be ignored.)
Step 3: Add to a page on wiki.openstreetmap.org
- Go to the wiki.openstreetmap.org page you want to add the comparison.
- Click on "Edit source".
- Paste the table in the clipboard where you want it.
- Add a Summary at the bottom of the page.
- Click on "Save changes".
- Yes! You published a app comparison in the wiki.
