Amᵃᵖanda | OSM Witch 🧙🏻‍♀️

@jaxxed @vatlark hello. Long time OpenStreetMapper here! 👋🏻👋🏻

There are problems with corporate influence in OSM. Jawg is not on the radar.

@selokichtli @julianwgs in the early days, people used to joke that to get good data in #OpenStreetMap you either had to import data, or import Germans. 🤣🤣

@WeirdAlex03 @NateNate60 IMO OSM Americana is part of OSM.

The OSM Project is a large and fuzzy thing 🙂

@toaster @infeeeee There’s been about ~4 or 5 attempts IIRC.

This one is well documented: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GlobalLogic

@retiolus @openstreetmap @organicmaps developers need to get paid…

@MrMusAddict @pootriarch within OSM, it’s easy to add a tag like that. Alas, it’s getting data users to _use_ that tag can be tricky…

@Synnr I haven’t used Waze. But @organicmaps is great

@Synnr The amount of people who have contributed to OpenStreetMap, to the map data, is massive. More than >2,000,000 people, and about 50,000 people edit the map every month.

Which app did you try? OSM is a little decentralised, so there are many.

@Synnr looks like photos from State of the Map conferences.

@blackfire @Doudouosm I thought they said to do full 24/7 support, they would need 6, but that aren’t able to do that, so they’re gonna just aiming for 2 (incl the 1 they have already)
