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.
• Nice statistics

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.
