OpenStreetMap
Hello hello strange website I do not fully understand! I have begun mapping out my Town! The grand town of Northampton! I saw a lot of the suburbs, and even parts of the town centre were missing residential housing features, so I began adding buildings on a road I know quite well as I used to live there. I know I missed a few sheds, but I am not about to guesstimate their locations under trees. Cheers!

Welcome to this noble cause!
It’s very much a learning by doing and learning by asking around, in my experience.
You have your work cut out for yourself in Northampton anyways.

Well done.
Have you tried it with AI assistance?

This is a powerful tool, but remember the responsibility is yours, when you edit the map, so don’t just blindly follow the suggestions. For example, a shadow or a group of trees could be wrongly interpreted. Perhaps use it to inform your mapping?
Cheers,
Chris

There is someone very active in southwest Northampton who is a brilliant template for what can be achieved, especially how they handle roads, crossings, curbs etc.
Northampton is a large place, and will be a big task, as it has some very empty areas.
Make sure to check out the osm wiki for help, and we are lucky in the UK we have “cadastral parcels” which you can use to perfectly lined up the satellite images with the real world!
Best of luck!
