Introduction

I’m from central Minnesota, and I frequently edit areas that I’m familiar with, including St. Cloud, Waite Park, Saint Joseph, Sauk Rapids, Sartell, Clearwater, Becker, and Big Lake. If you are in the area, please send me a message! I’d love to talk to anyone local who is involved in OSM. While I have some experience, I am by no means an expert. If you’re new, though, I’d be happy to help you learn some basics.

Projects

My goal this summer is to get all the sidewalks in Becker imaged in Mapillary, so I’m not sure how much I’ll end up mapping on OSM. I have, however, discovered that I can get paid for mapping by taking my laptop to the lakes that I work at and mapping from there- so I certainly won’t be short on time. I purchased a GoPro Max for Mapillary projects. I take requests if you have anywhere you’d like me to cover! I may get a dashcam suitable for street imagery someday, but not yet. The Max was expensive. Other than the sidewalks project, I have no ambitious goals for mapping this summer. Mainly I’ve been putsing around with housing developments, mapping the houses, driveways, fences, sidewalks, and trees.

OSM Note

I have a note on my phone that I’ve been filling up with OSM related websites, such as editors like RapiD, or resources like the wiki. I’ve gotten quite a large number of them now. If anyone has any ideas of what I should do with this list, let me know. I’m considering making it into its own website, but I don’t know of any website builder (I’m inexperienced with coding) that lets me connect my own domain without subscribing to their pro version.

Thanks for reading.
