OsmAnd is also available on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/osmand-maps-travel-navigate/id... CoMap also offers offline access to OpenStreetMap data: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/comaps/id6747180809

> However I ran into two things that have no formal tags:

You can use https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like on OpenStreetMap. Many of the used tags are simply "in use" and not formalized with a proposal.

There are many apps for editing OSM on iOS: https://osm-apps.org/?platforms=iOS

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!! also has some kind of 'quests' built in, and the StreetComplete is planning to porting SC to iOS: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421

> I found out that there is a cap

A cap for downloading rendered tiles from osm.org? That exists, but is quite generous.

Other (free) options are https://openfreemap.org/ or https://versatiles.org/ to generate your own tiles.

Very nitpick, but you might need to ask for exemption by the OpenStreetMap foundation for using such a name: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy#4._Special_u...

Looking good and fun. As an avid OpenStreetMap contributor I'm a bit bummed that you're calling this "Google Maps and Need for Speed".

Also they don't show the necessary OpenStreetMap attribution anywhere...

In addition I don’t see the necessary attribution to OSM (on my iPhone 12 mini)

> However, even ALPR doesn't show any devices for me

I've panned the map over several parts of the US, and see many ALPRs mapped in OpenStreetMap. You can also use the 'Wizard' of Overpass turbo, and enter ""surveillance:type"=ALPR around Miami" (or any other city (e.g. your home town), with quotation marks around surveillance:type) and increase the `radius` in the query until you'll find some. As an example, here are the ALPRs 25km around Miami: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2dVP

The search directly on osm.org is optimzied for address things.

For a "complete" search in the OpenStreetMap-data I suggest [Overpass Turbo](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo).

In this specific case I'd take a little detour over taginfo (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Taginfo), e.g. search for `surveillance` (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=surveillance) there. A little bit of clicking (Type > Values > ALPR) leads to https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/surveillance%3Atype=A... If you click on 'Overpass turbo' on the top right, you get to a pre-filled search on Overpass turbo. Scroll the map to the region you want to search (start small), and click 'Run' on the top left.

Voila.

That is possible, especially for very high resolution scans and dense materials.

I work with (other) desktop microCT scanners and the longest scan we did took longer than 40 hours.

It seems to me that these are two MagicEarth “owners”

- Magic Lane for the navigation app which traces back to 1992: https://www.magiclane.com/web/about

- Halliburton for something related to 3D visualization “that was formed slightly more than a year ago”: https://www.chron.com/business/article/halliburton-to-pay-10...

> OpenStreetMap is still really hard to use and gives bad directions.

https://www.magicearth.com/ works well for car navigation with OSM data, and https://cycle.travel/ is the best way to navigate on a bike, also with OSM data.

In which country do you live, if I might ask?

> OpenStreetMap doesn't even seem interested in things like "this street is closed next week Tuesday"

OpenStreetMap data consumers can have much longer update cycles than "next week", so it makes sense to have such information outside of the map data if you are implementing a router.

As an avid mapper (and liking to go on dinner-dates with my wife) I absolutely love this. Very slick and quick search, congratulations! Do you also parse the `opening_hours` tag to filter for currently open restaurants?
