I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do more of it tonight. My girlfriend thinks it’s dumb and I’m wasting my time because Google maps and Apple maps and Bing maps exists but she just doesn’t understand open source.
Edit: Apologies, I just realized this question is not Linux specific.
Yes, I moved in St Lucia, a small Caribbean island (~620km) few years ago.
Openstreetmap already had a lot of information but nothing on the land use (forest, field …). So over almost a year I’ve worked on it to add all the forest using satellite imagery. Most of the community names were missing so I’ve also added around 100 names and plenty of roads and buildings.
I’ve also started to add all the rivers and stream using public data but this is still underway.
