I’m thinking about adding mainly road surface material and quality of my town today.
Well I live in an area with little to no previous mapping and I’m practically the only person doing the area. It’s good and bad at the same time! I can go for an extended survey and either literally put hamlets on the map, or go to towns with streets drawn in but no POIs. Or pore over satellite imagery and draw landuse in… or paths… or lakes… Neverending fun. I tell my friends it’s like doing a geo-sudoku.
Adding lots of missing bicycle paths, lanes, and designated routes in my area as well as all of the missing buildings. And fixing all kinds of little mistakes.
I try to fix the cycling routes in my city. As of now they’re all mapped as if they were seperate cycling paths, even though most of them are roadside lanes seperated by flimsy plastic barriers.

@IDatedSuccubi @beta_tester Have you opened the area up in StreetComplete?
Have you checked MapRoulette, KeepRight or Osmose for your area? There can be some things to fix.
When I get bored with working on my town, I like to map using satellite images.
There are a TON of towns that have nothing mapped in them at all, but have really obvious features from the air. This includes things like courthouses, schools, parks, sidewalks… I know it isn’t for everybody, but you can usually find information for at least the public institutions on most city webpages.
@IDatedSuccubi @beta_tester I have never encountered somewhere that’s fully mapped in OSM.
I’m updating the shops in my street today.

I really wanted to do some mapping, but in all places I lived it was already fully mapped
@IDatedSuccubi @beta_tester That depends on what “fully mapped” is - a lot of my mapping tends to be tagging, not creating new objects: for ways - maxspeed, surface, lit; for POI nodes - opening_hours, wheelchair. Buildings - building_levels, roof:shape, building type (building=detached/apartments/commercial/shed/…). StreetComplete is efficient in terrain.
Also, many artworks lack any tagging beyond tourist attraction= artwork, but that requires some detective work beyond mere mapping;)

Probably won’t do any mapping today, but recently I have been adding roof materials mostly so streets.gl looks better.
How cool is that?! I only knew about f4map but streets.gl looks a bit cooler.
Roof materials? Wow, that’s rich in detail :D I’ll chdck that out :)
roof materials are pretty easy near me as 99% of rooves are tile.
I’m adding flagpoles and setting the direction of the lights of the street lights in my city.
