> Since their release in 2005, Google Maps-based tools have become the de facto solutions for a variety of online cartographic projects. Their success has been accompanied by a range of critiques denouncing the individualistic market-based logic imposed by these mapping services. Alternative options to this dominant model have been released since then; uMap is one of them. <mark>uMap is a free, open-source online mapping platform that builds on OpenStreetMap to enable anyone to easily publish web maps individually or collaboratively.</mark> In this paper, we reflect on the potential and limits of uMap based on our own experiences of deploying it in six different mapping projects. Through these experiences, uMap appears particularly well-suited for collaborative mapping projects, due to its ease in connecting to remote data and its high level of interoperability with a range of other applications. On the other hand, uMap seems less relevant for crowdmapping projects, due to its lack of built-in options to manage and control public contributions. Finally, the open-source philosophy of uMap, combined with its simplicity of use and its strong collaborative capacity, make it a great option for activist mapping projects as well as for pedagogical purposes to teach a range of topics including online collaborative cartography.

## [uMap 2 and beyond 🚀](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/David%20Larlet/diary/403560) (2024-02-23)

> A [major version](https://pypi.org/project/umap-project/2.0.0/) of uMap has been released last week.
>
> <mark>This release is inauguring a new era in versioning uMap</mark>: in the future, we’ll take care of better documenting breaking changes, so expect more major releases from now on. More details on [how we version](https://docs.umap-project.org/en/master/release/#when-to-make-a-release).
>
> A comprehensive changelog for that version is available in our technical documentation. Most of the changes for a major version are indeed technical, we are taking care of people deploying and maintaining instances with that approach. User-facing features are deployed continuously with our minor versions. We think that scheme is more valuable for the community.

## [Adding collaboration on uMap, third update](https://blog.notmyidea.org/adding-collaboration-on-umap-third-update.html) (2024-02-15)

> I’ve spent the last few weeks working on uMap, still with the goal of bringing real-time collaboration to the maps. I’m not there yet, but <mark>I’ve made some progress that I will relate here</mark>.

## [Adding Real-Time Collaboration to uMap, second week](https://blog.notmyidea.org/adding-real-time-collaboration-to-umap-second-week.html) (2023-11-21)

> I continued working on uMap, an open-source map-making tool to create and share customizable maps, based on Open Street Map data.
>
> <mark>Here is a summary of what I did:</mark>
>
> * I reviewed, rebased and made some minor changes to [a pull request which makes it possible to merge geojson features together](https://github.com/umap-project/umap/pull/772) ;
> * I’ve explored around the idea of using SQLite inside the browser, for two reasons : it could make it possible to use the [Spatialite](https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/index) extension, and it might help us to implement a CRDT with [cr-sqlite](https://github.com/vlcn-io/cr-sqlite) ;
> * I learned a lot about the SIG field. This is a wide ecosystem with lots of moving parts, which I understand a bit better now.

## [Adding Real-Time Collaboration to uMap, first week](https://blog.notmyidea.org/adding-real-time-collaboration-to-umap-first-week.html) (2023-11-11)

> Last week, I’ve been lucky to start working on uMap, an open-source map-making tool to create and share customizable maps, based on Open Street Map data.

> [uMap: A Free, Open-Source Alternative to Google My Maps](https://cartographicperspectives.org/index.php/journal/article/view/1729)
> <mark>My goal is to add real-time collaboration to uMap</mark>, but we first want to be sure to understand the issue correctly. There are multiple ways to solve this, so one part of the journey is to understand the problem properly (then, we’ll be able to chose the right path forward).

## [uMap: fine-grained permissions and more](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/David%20Larlet/diary/402475) (2023-09-27)

> We finally managed to tackle a very popular feature request: [datalayers’ fine-grained permissions](https://github.com/umap-project/umap/pull/1307) 🎉. This is a huge step forward, <mark>allowing for a given map owner to only open a particular datalayer to edition</mark>. It will help people with contributive maps who need to setup a stable/fixed base layer. It also paved the way for even more control over the objects that are allowed for addition and/or edition. Please share with us your desired workflows.

## [Some news about uMap!](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ybon/diary/402248) (2023-08-25)

> Since a few month, <mark>uMap has been integrated in a French state incubator</mark>, so things are moving quite a lot!
>
> uMap is now ten years old, and is deployed on many instances around the world. The one I know well is hosted by OSM France, and is close to reach one million maps created and 100.000 users.
>
> This incubation program is ported by the French [“Accélérateur d’initiatives citoyennes”](https://citoyens.transformation.gouv.fr/), it includes coaches and a small budget for non tech needs (UI/UX…). One goal of this program is to find financial support for uMap development and maintainance. A French administration, the [Agence pour la cohésion des territoires](https://agence-cohesion-territoires.gouv.fr/), is the first uMap financial backer since a few months. This allowed us to put up a small team to work, part time, in uMap []

## [Carte des arbres remarquables, la suite…](https://insidemap.eu/carte-des-arbres-remarquables-la-suite/) (2024-05-25)

> Depuis la première version de la carte en mars 2019, les données ont pu changer et les fonctionnalités d’uMap ont évolué. Voilà l’occasion de refaire la carte et d’explorer d’autres approches. Bien entendu les fonctionnalités de diaporama sont toujours actives sur la carte d’origine.
>
> <mark>Les données sur les arbres remarquables sont à disposition sur le portail gouvernemental data.gouv.fr.</mark> Pour automatiser leur import, il est intéressant de choisir le lien…

## [Tutoriel : cartographier votre commune, ses voies et ses adresses, avec uMap](https://adresse.data.gouv.fr/blog/utilisez-umap-pour-visualiser-vos-adresses) (2024-05-13)

> Il peut parfois s’avérer utile, dans le cadre d’un travail préparatoire ou pour une présentation, de créer une carte personnalisée de sa commune. À cet effet, <mark>l’ANCT met à disposition un outil, libre et open-source, à destination des agents publics pour créer des cartes en ligne</mark>, uMap.
>
> Cet outil, par ailleurs accessible sur d’autres instances pour le grand public ([uMap OSMFr](https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/) et [FramaCarte](https://framacarte.org/)), se distingue par sa grande polyvalence et ses fonctionnalités avancées de personnalisation. L’instance [uMap ANCT](https://umap.incubateur.anct.gouv.fr/) vise à mieux intégrer cet outil avec les autres outils des agents, à développer des fonctionnalités spécifiques et des configurations sur mesure, ainsi que faciliter un support dédié.

## [Hervé Baronnet : Libres balades pédagogiques](https://www.cafepedagogique.net/2024/03/29/herve-baronnet-libres-balades-pedagogiques/) (2024-03-29)

> Le numérique peut-il aider à franchir les murs de l’École ? L’École peut-elle aider à s’affranchir des enfermements numériques ? Double défi joliment relevé par Hervé Baronnet, professeur des écoles dans l’académie de Bordeaux, membre de la Fabrique des Communs Pédagogiques. <mark>Avec le logiciel libre de cartographie numérique uMap, les élèves sont invités à des « balades pédagogiques »</mark> : à explorer et à s’approprier un territoire en produisant des cartes collaboratives et créatives. Présentée à la Journée Du Libre Educatif le 29 mars 2024 à Créteil, la démarche, inspirante, « enseigne des savoirs de manière interactive, concrète et mémorable. » Elle forge le désir et la capacité d’élargir, de découvrir, de conquérir son espace de vie. « En sortant de l’école / Nous avons rencontré / Un grand chemin de fer / Qui nous a emmenés / Tout autour de la terre / Dans un wagon doré » (Jacques Prévert) ….

## [Blogueur Food & Voyage : ajouter des cartes interactives à vos articles](https://blog.jawg.io/ajouter-des-cartes-interactives-a-vos-articles-de-blog/) (2023-03-21)

>
> [Hervé Baronnet : Libres balades pédagogiques](https://www.cafepedagogique.net/2024/03/29/herve-baronnet-libres-balades-pedagogiques/)
> Et qui parmi vous, a dû <mark>copier-coller le nom de ces lieux suggérés dans un moteur de recherche pour avoir une idée plus précise d’où ils se situaient ?</mark> Bon… je me sens moins seule !

> Je vous donne un exemple, vous cherchez un café sympa sur Paris et vous tombez sur l’article « Les 10 cafés les plus cosy de Paris. » Super, il n’y a plus qu’à les trouver. Sauf que, vous jetez un coup d’œil à l’adresse… euh le 9e, c’est quels stations de métro ça ? 🤔😅
