Make a map of benches #36

Closed amcewen closed 4 years ago

So on Twitter recently:

Situation currently - I’m waiting at a station with luggage and nowhere to sit :woman_shrugging:

Been wanting to do a #bench map of #Liverpool for ages so people can find places to sit comfortably and then wherever there is a gap make one with the #community what dya think? #accessiblecities

Sounds like a good thing to make, and should be possible with umap and OpenStreetMap data. We're going to convene online tomorrow to try building it.

We made a decent amount of progress on this yesterday.

Generally followed this guide to making a dynamic map on umap. One key point to note from that is that you need to replace the smart-quotes “ and ” with straight ones " in the “amenity”=“pub” sections of the URL in step 5(c), and switch the leading http://... for https://...

It's still under development but the initial map of benches is up and running.
