This is another good news story on #GIS #routing and environmental pollution. Plastic recovery from the ocean increased 60% for a given cruise time. Even better? Open data and code!

At our 25th year anniversary party, we asked friends to deliver talks about a subject they are passionate about outside of work #DNS, #routing, #foss, ..
Mirjam gave a talk about #ArtBrut/Outsider Art, which was very well received. Now, one of the collections she talked about, the Collection Prinzhorn, that preserved art even through WWII, is now at risk.
She asked us to raise awareness, and we are inspired to help. Care? Donate or join their association of friends https://www.freundeprinzhorn.de/index-en.html
Visualizing data can provide new perspective and insight.

Die Reutlinger #Musiknacht 
findet gemäss #StaRT offenbar dieses Mal in der #Dönerbude statt. Wer für das #routing zu dieser qualifizierten Auskunft nicht die #Datenschleuder bestätigen möchte, kann auch #trackingfreie Links verwenden. #OpenStreetMap ist in der Verwaltung von #Reutlingen allerdings #Neuland

#Biketooter :When planning a #bike #route with #FOSS and #OSM based #routing engines, such as #Brouter / #Bikerouter ,the result analysis frequently shows some #surface percentage as "unknown". I guess that's because the #information is missing in the #OpenstreetMap #database .However, when I upload the same track as #GPX into a #commercial #biking application, such as #Komoot or #Cyclers ,the "unknown" has disappeared, while they are also based on OSM. How come?
@BarbarossaTM has created a brilliant article series about Linux routing, starting with the fundamentals and covering advanced topics like policy-based-routing (PBR), Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) and even VPN topics (OpenVPN and WireGuard):
https://blog.sdn.clinic/2025/01/linux-routing-fundamentals/ - excellent work!
#BendingSpoons is a #PrivateEquity firm. #Komoot #bike users should download their already ridden or planned #tracks as #GPX files as soon as possible before they have to pay a lot for them (or even to get a #map update). Better alternatives to Komoot: #Routing with #Brouter , #Cyclers , #VisuGPX or #Valhalla ; (free) navigation with #OrganicMaps or #CycleTravel . Everything else (photos, etc.) is anyway a #socialmedia feature.

@cehteh
Thank you so much. I will try to follow your instructions. If I manage to do it, it would be the perfect solution.
I didn't know that there is a #Brouter plugin in #OsmAnd .This can be very helpful as I anyway use Brouter.de (+ #Valhalla #routing engine + #Cyclers web routing engine) to plan my #bike tracks. Thanks again.
By the way, is there somewhere a sort of #OsmAnd manual? I often get lost with the application and the help section is not always explicit enough for people like me.

New Kitten release
• Socket routes now have precendence in the router.
This stops wildcard page routes from capturing the default socket routes that Kitten creates to enable the Streaming HTML workflow.
e.g., Previously, the following route:
/videos/index_[slug].page.js
Could not connect to its default socket (/videos/default.socket) because default.socket would be captured by the [slug] parameter.
Now, it will work as intended as the /videos/default.socket (a socket route) has precendence over index_[slug].page.js (a page route).
Learn more about Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow here:
https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/streaming-html/
Enjoy!
How can you transform a sequence of points into complete routes that follow roads, sidewalks, or tracks?
It's easy with our Map Matching endpoint. Example code in TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, Swift, and PHP.

@horst724 ... der zweite Tipp (https://www.lokjo.com/) bietet (für meine Region) die aktuelleren Luft- bzw. Satellitenbilder an.
Ansonsten gibt es für amtliche #Karten (#Vektor und #Raster noch dieses empfehlenswerte #Portal auf #Bundesebene in #Deutschland:
Mehr Infos zum Projekt und zur Kartenauswahl:

Fürs #Routing mit optional aktivierten #Verkehrsdaten taugt auch das Portal vom #ADAC unter https://maps.adac.de/ wirklich gut.
New Kitten release
• Change: Add Kitten’s own routes (that every Kitten app inherits) for the Small Web protocol namespace (/) as well as for Kitten’s reserved namespace (/
) first, before app-specific routes so that a wildcard route in the form, e.g., [anything]_[anythingElse].get.js won’t lock you out of the Settings site for your app (at //settings).
Enjoy!
(To update, run `kitten update` from your terminal on your development machine or manually update deployment servers from //settings/kitten/ or just wait a few hours for them to update automatically. You can also just run the installation command again.)

New Kitten release
• Fixes issue with routes where dynamic routes with file names that had more than two extensions were not recognised as the correct type of route. e.g., A route called index.xml.get.js would previously have been treated as a static route instead of a dynamic GET route.
For more details, see the Valid File Types section of the Kitten reference¹ and the Dynamic Pages tutorial².
