Just 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!

Good luck! Glad to have another mapper on board!

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.
