I need to work on my “Why I Edit OSM” diary entry. I agree with you, though. I edit OSM because it gives me a satisfactory feeling that I imagine other people get by completing a puzzle. It’s an added benefit that my hobby also powers some neat projects ranging from privacy-focused navigation, art pieces, and humanitarian efforts.

Another comment I frequently make: editing OSM is a separate hobby from using OSM. I’m much more consistent in my editing of OSM than I am to my loyalty to OSM-based map apps.

There’s also an RSS feed for edits:

@Le_Sharkoïste agreed! But it’s fun to see OSM edits appreciated either way!

Oh, I did notice sometimes once logged in I still need to go to the heatmap page:

www.strava.com/maps/global-heatmap

Although someone commented that they downloaded the latest firefox extension and it didn’t work.

Hey Rostranimin!

I’ve been using iD editor with this extension.

It looks like they may have fixed the JOSM extension for firefox, but are still pending a fix for Chrome:

Thanks for the write-up! I love trying to fit in some POI mapping when in an area that needs it. Although I haven’t tested OSM GO! I’ll have to check it out.

Maybe I should start factoring in OSM data gaps when booking my holidays. ;)

Thanks Chris! Let me know what your experience is!

Frequently I generate notes! Although sometimes I skip depending on how likely I think a path is.

It seems some people are more confident than me and just apply the update remotely. Although hopefully people will see them when using StreetComplete or similar programs.
