Hello
Nice to be here :) I love to increase the amount of information in OSM.
- If it is not on OSM, it does not exist.
- Wenn es nicht auf OSM zu finden ist, dann existiert es nicht.
- Jeśli nie można go znaleźć na OSM, to znaczy, że nie istnieje.
- Si no se puede encontrar en OSM, entonces no existe.
- Jos sitä ei löydy OSM:stä, sitä ei ole olemassa.
- Om den inte kan hittas på OSM finns den inte.
- Jika tidak dapat ditemukan di OSM, berarti tidak ada.
- Якщо його не можна знайти в OSM, значить, його не існує.
Tools
Some tools I really like to work with:
- overpass turbo
- powerful search engine for the features on the map not only for addresses
- Open Etymology Map
- you can visualize the data that comes from WikiData
- e.g. which streets are named after woman? (Spoiler: less than you might think)
- NotesReview
- A great search engine for all the notes on the map.
- I regularly check here to find the spots I can improve.
- When in doubt, I asked in the German Telegram channel. Nice and helpful folks there.
OSM related
- Wandrer.earth
- Use your Strava activities to see where you have been
- Wandrer’s concept is a gamification of “seeing every street” in your city and to compete with others
- Really helpful for mapping in Halle (Saale) is the Halle-Im-Bild web page.
