OpenStreetMap
sorry if my grammar sucks and all that I never had a good grasp on it in life. It’s been a few days since I started modeling Sweetwater so it can show up on Pokémon go when it updates their map though I’ve been aware that they might use specific versions but never hurts to model the town still, but the only issue is that no one in my town uses OSM anymore meaning I am completely alone.. a few days ago, I tried getting help which did work but not in the way I expected but hey better than nothing well all I wanted was help with buildings and all of that due to the town of Sweetwater Texas being hardly mapped (buildings wise). I tried requesting help though the notes, but it got resolved but the person gave me a website to help making it a bit faster but also giving me somewhat outdated building data.
if you’re interested in this whole thing and want to help out with the buildings or just update some information here’s the link to Sweetwater Texas

Hey, I helped by adding ~160 things in that area:
Hope that helps take a little bite out of it. :)

Well thank you for being the first person to help out it may not be much but that’s ok every building counts! you’re allowed to pop in at any time to add more if you like besides I accept the help

Added a whole other chunk of ~150 things too:
No problem. :)
Sure. I might check in every so often. :)
For now, I’m also mapping a lot of rural/suburban + severely undermapped US areas.
(Like I tackled a whole small town in PA. According to someone who lived there, there “wasn’t much there”… turns out it was ~4k buildings! He “didn’t even KNOW there was that many”! But all those garages, sheds, and farm buildings sure do add up!)
Last month there was maybe a few dozen things there (a few restaurants, the post office, the fire department)… now the entire town is probably 99% complete. :)
Yep, every little bit counts. :)
What I tend to enjoy doing is… any place I check in on or get linked to, I tend to:
If I see a school/church/park, I tend to “spiral” out from it.
Hopefully seeing a bigger chunk mapped inspires others to “continue the pattern” or “fill in the blanks” too. :)
It gets addicting when you are zoomed in, mapping everything along a road, then you meet up with another section that was already filled in. :)

Okay, ~450 more things mapped:
That takes care of a nice chunk of the eastern/northern part. :)

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work. Greetings from South Dakota!
