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.

    I used OSM tiles when creating webmaps sometimes and they can be great.

    That said it’s coverage is inconsistent. This area around a highschool has really high detail footprints for the houses so I think it might have been part of their IT class at some point.

      That’s every village in Germany. Well, maybe not every, but it’s not a surprising level of detail to me - interesting, how the investment into this project seems to vary a lot between countries. Do we maybe have a bit too much free time on our hands?
