Welcome, FourOh!

Glad to see you here. Whatever you do, take it slow. There is plenty to do and you could spend years just adding and correcting “emergency=fire_hydrant” (just an example). Due only what you are interested in and “leave the rest to God”.

If no one else has mentioned it yet, OSM US is a great group of people (if you’re into community). In a more solo angle, search “State of the Map” on YouTube for years of great conference videos, related to OSM. There are many project that I found out only through those videos.

JOSM is an equally powerful editor (yet opposite strengths in every way), check it out when and if you feel like it. Many people also use StreetComplete and/or Vespucci to edit on the move (Android). It looks like you are sticking to edits that you can personally survey. That is a wise move until you get your feet under you.

Again, it’s great to see you here. Good luck and Happy mapping!

Thank you, I got some very nice feed-back for sure. I am not community oriented, but I am going to visit if I have something to ask or to contribute. Cheers!
