OSM resturaunt photos/reviews?
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're viewing a single thread.
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?
Images are uoloaded to imgur. Not perfect, but it just works and is reliable.
All other data gets (generally) uploaded to OSM, except for reviews which go to mangrove.reviews
And there is some Wikipedia/Wikidata in the mix for some other pages too, but that is clearly attributed
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
That's really neat! Thanks
