<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,</div><div> </div><div>I think most of you have already noticed that there is a lot of landuse missing in 'Oost-Vlaanderen'. In het past couple of months I have been helping with building a mobile tourism app using OpenStreetMap:</div>
<div> </div><div><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.westtoer.westhoek.routes&hl=en">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.westtoer.westhoek.routes&hl=en</a></div><div> </div><div>
(This is just a first version, many improvements are still coming and iOS is awaiting approval)</div><div> </div><div>The project is for westtour (<a href="http://www.westtoer.be/nl">http://www.westtoer.be/nl</a>) and the area used from OSM is this part of the map:</div>
<div> </div><div><a href="http://geojson.io/#id=gist:xivk/5722c457e64f83b9275d&map=9/50.9697/2.7974"><font color="#0066cc">http://geojson.io/#id=gist:xivk/5722c457e64f83b9275d&map=9/50.9697/2.7974</font></a></div>
<div> </div><div>and later this part will be used in a similar app:</div><div> </div><div><a href="http://geojson.io/#id=gist:xivk/21b8327509343490f3ad&map=9/50.7825/3.0939"><font color="#0066cc">http://geojson.io/#id=gist:xivk/21b8327509343490f3ad&map=9/50.7825/3.0939</font></a></div>
<div> </div><div>Now I think it's a pitty that there is not more landuse defined in this area. The map looks great with landuse but pretty bad without:</div><div> <div><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ehoy44afjd0q1jr/map_no_landuse.png"><font color="#0066cc">https://www.dropbox.com/s/ehoy44afjd0q1jr/map_no_landuse.png</font></a></div>
</div><div><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5aedvlpmtapf7c/map_landuse.png"><font color="#0066cc">https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5aedvlpmtapf7c/map_landuse.png</font></a></div><div> </div><div>Does anyone feel like helping us to map some landuse? :-) I have been mapping some and Jorieke V has also been doing a lot and we will keep doing this as much as possible.</div>

<div> </div><div>Just suggesting this if you happened to feel an irresistable mapping-urge but don't know what to map :-)</div><div> </div><div>Oh and the <a href="http://osm.be">osm.be</a> domain is finally ours, website will be there soon and will need volunteers to add content (more about this later) and still working on CRAB.<br clear="all">
