There’s no such thing as “fully mapped out”. Just open StreetComplete. If there are no tasks left, go ahead and map all the individual trees, or benches, or yield/stop signs, or all the buildings so that they appear good-looking on a 3d render.
Done? Now you get to memorize tree species and become “that guy who measures the trees.”
Actually, recently I learned that setting the tree species (or at least genus) can be very useful to some people: https://lemmy.ml/post/31772921
Oh ! I would love to do this. I’m learning how to recognised tree and I love foraging. I guess I have to step up my openstreetmap game and stop reliying solely on StreetComplete.
SCEE (StreetComplete expert edition) is available with additional quests (especially for those with domain knowledge) and customization for experienced mappers. It includes a quest “What is the genus or species of this tree?” among others. Please see its FAQ.
Thank you! I will download it.
have a look at https://mapcomplete.org/trees - you can add pictures and it has plantnet.org integrated to recognize tree species automatically
Don’t forget building height! That is also often missing and has a big effect on 3d renders.
Yep, although I think StreetComplete does at least ask “how many levels in a building”, which allows for pretty good approximations most of the time
Yuup. Opening hours for all businesses should be checked/updated every couple of months so there is always something to do.
I am confused as to the implication? Is it because you are dissapointed that you cannot contribute?
Yes
6 months ago, I moved to a town which was 8 years out of date.
It’s been a fun time adding in all the nodes I would have liked to see as a newcomer.
What is the easiest way to contribute?
Install StreetComplete, open it, boom, a lot of easy things to do that will help some people out (especially with regards to opening hours, accessibility, addresses and such).
Once you want to do more advanced edits, install Every Door. It’s not as obvious what to do there, but it still highlights issues that need to be fixed and is relatively easy to operate; however, you will need to start looking at OpenStreetMap wiki to take full advantage of it.
Then you can move to more advanced editors, such as Vespucci on your phone (wouldn’t recommend doing everything from there), ID editor in your browser or JOSM as a proper app on your computer.
I will be honest, I stopped doing it because I got overloaded with all the different types of concrete slabs and stuff.
StreetComplete has recently removed the concrete plates option due to potential confusion, for what it’s worth.
Thank fuck. I was losing my mind over what are concrete slates, plates and shit.
@pineapplelover If you find a quest repetitive you can disable it in the settings. @balsoft
@potentiallynotfelix guess you’ll have to move again /s
