Frexosm website. ru is the personal space of one of the OpenStreetMap project participants under the nickname freeExec. All sorts of developments that revolve around open data about the geography of Russia are collected here. There is no official corporation here, no advertising or templates - only the real work of a person who wants to make data about the world a little more accurate.
The main page immediately makes it clear where to move next: personal projects freeExec. It's not just an empty name - there's a whole ecosystem of interactive maps, JOSM tools, display styles and even special presets behind it. Each element is designed to improve the quality of information in OpenStreetMap, especially in places where there is currently little or no information available.
One of the most interesting projects is a map of power lines in the Russian Federation. It's built using OpenStreetMap data, but looks like a real professional diagram. Shows how the country's energy system works, where the main lines run, and what substations there are. Not just beautiful, but really useful - especially for those who are interested in infrastructure.
And there is also a map of Russian railway stations. Interactive, detailed, with the ability to quickly find the right platform. Data taken from the same source - OpenStreetMap. Ideal for travelers, railway enthusiasts and even transport analytics.
freeExec is not limited to just maps. There is a full set of tools for working with OpenStreetMap data. All this is presented as ready-made solutions: presets for the JOSM editor, display styles that help you understand complex categories of objects. For example, a special wikimapia style - so that the names of establishments are displayed more clearly, as if you see them on a map from the Wikimapia website. I must admit that the effect is noticeable.
A map of Russian cemeteries is also available. Yes, that's right. If sectors in cemeteries are marked in OpenStreetMap, they will be shown. This could be important for research, finding relatives, or just amazing curiosity. But the map of forest areas is also quite interesting. It only works where this data has been entered into the system. But if there is, it will be visible.
There is also a map of Russian river basins. Shows how rivers connect with each other to form a single network. A very useful thing for ecologists, hydrologists and generally anyone who wants to understand the country’s water chain. Separately, it is worth mentioning the map with names from the GKGN - the state catalog of geographical names.Here you can try to fill in the gaps in the names of streams, lakes, and villages that are missing in OpenStreetMap.
And also a map of the main properties of roads. An improved version of the old one, which now shows not only the type of road, but also the maximum permitted speed, as well as the presence of lighting. This helps identify where the data in OpenStreetMap still needs work. Beautiful, informative, almost scientific.
However, not everything is perfect. The old version of the road surface map is no longer relevant - MapBox has stopped updating its data. And that's a fact. This means there is no point in using it further. But now other solutions are available.
In general, the site is frexosm. ru is not just a blog or a personal portal. This is a real cluster of interesting work. A person who does something of his own because it is important to him. Not for the sake of money, not for the sake of popularity - simply because he sees shortcomings in the data and wants to correct them.
The site contains a map of power lines of the Russian Federation, an interactive map of railway stations in Russia, special styles for JOSM, a map of cemeteries, forest areas, river basins, as well as an improved version of the map of road properties. All of them are based on OpenStreetMap.
They help users work better with OpenStreetMap data - for example, add more information, check data quality, visualize features in more detail than usual.
Of course, if the terms of use of OpenStreetMap are met - that is, the open ODbL license. The author of the site does not prohibit the use, but does not guarantee the quality of all data.
Because MapBox has stopped updating its road surface data. This was a temporary promotion that has now ended. Therefore, links to it no longer work.
You can email freeExec@mail. ru. There is also a forum where you can ask questions about OpenStreetMap - although this is not explicitly stated, there is a hint.
In the end, the site works. Not perfect, like the giants, but alive. Human. And it's this approach that makes it valuable to those who believe in free data.
