I've made some good progress mapping out Sebeka in Minnesota over the past couple months :D
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/46.6301/-95.0900
I'd love to finish mapping all the buildings but it starts to feel like a chore :s
If I get a chance I’ll try help out there as well.
but it starts to feel like a chore :s
I find that this happens with me when I start trying to add too much detail from the start. I’ll get overwhelmed at how much there still is and then it feels like a chore.
I’ve started just adding building outlines and then once that’s done I’ll go add some more detail to a couple places.
Here's a screenshot from before:
Wow that's excellent progress! Keep up the good work :)
When I travel I always map
This is so freaking cool thanks for sharing! Would be cool if the author auto kept a gallery of before and after for each place to show how much it is improving places.
Also, I gotta say it must be crazy for someone to live in one of these little towns that's barely on the map and then one day they open whatever map app and boom everything is there! They probably just shake their head and say "technology..."
I LOVE looking at before/after screenshots. Especially when there was nothing there before or very little and then someone comes and adds a whole bunch of stuff.
