OpenStreetMap
Working with the Chamber of Commerce in Northern Rio Arriba County NM. Want to update OSM for the area.
Postiwyd gan DreadJ ar 11 Hydref 2023 yn EnglishJust got into this, very new.
The staff of the Northern New Mexico Welcome Center in Chama NM tells people not to rely on their GPS around here because it tends to be incorrect. It’s true. Google Maps has the wrong businesses listed at a location, anywhere from a few hundred feet to over a mile away. OSM for the area is barely touched as many of the businesses and buildings are not demarcated in any way.
So here I go! Hoping to do some good map editing in the area and expecting some OG OSM editors to swiftly tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Glad to have you helping out! I personally love working in empty areas; there’s a lot more freedom. Please feel free to send me if you have any questions!

Maybe suggest to that chamber of commerce to help organize local mapping efforts. The more accurate the map is, the easier it’ll be for people to find and even discover local businesses. And/Or ask them for access to their biz directly to be allowed to import into OSM.
