I understand now.

For all formal purposes this parking lot unlike the others is “abandoned” just as the a road, mall, or house can be but you can still use it. Yes there is still signs saying to pay but its not enforced.

I would give it a tag abandoned. abandoned=yes

Dubrovnik has one as well

I think this is more exciting than Confluence project, Highpointers, or the How many countries have you been in club. What would you name a group of river source enthusiasts? Seems like a fun side project.

You still need to add a yelp, tripadvisor, and google place :) Do you think that this will then put it on the Pokemon Go App now?

Awesome story! Glad OSM can be used to help further science and expeditions.

I have to ask however where the data you put back into OSM is. Your account shows you never mapped in Oman, and in Al Wusta Oman there is no data younger than 3 years.

Thank you for running!! I think all your proposals are feasible but have questions about each.

“Share my Location”

Social media friendly OSM. Sounds like it could generate more interest. How easy is this to implement ($ or man hours?)

Single Sign On

Would be great but would the $ or effort be worth expending or used elsewhere such as more funding for local groups?

WeeklyOSM.US

I like the idea. How would this work exactly? The current aggregator of osm news http://www.weeklyosm.eu has a dedicated volunteer staff. Would this be a PR working group of OSM US?

Mapping Mayor

This has been already done before with semi-success. osm.wiki/Gamification Would this encourage bad behavior? (i.e. bad mappers just going for numbers)

That’s a lot of Pokémon go stops

Thank you for the translation! OSM Awards aren’t perfect but at least transparent.

Just light beams. The angels are in another area of the country. I didn’t even mention the Giant Stone Ball Mystery from this year. I got lost trying to find the place and leaving it as well. It’s sadly a big tourist attraction in Bosnia.

You are absolutely correct @bushmanK. There are many lines of evidence they are using to claim the pyramids are valid (i.e. beams of lights emitting from them, angles and distances to each other, ect. ect.). I am still collecting the datasets to validate these claims. Check back for part 2!!

That roof behind you needs a few shingles.

I feel some hatred towards central place theory hexagonal hinterlands.

This talk reminds me of the epic debate…. Water or Gatorade.

I tell everyone to Google but I too use Bing as well

Some people do not like individuals doing things they think of as violating their privacy. Like the US Census in 2010: More Than 100 Census Takers Have Been Assaulted Or Attacked This Month

There are many tips out there for keeping safe while doing these types of surveys

Trust your instincts. Remove yourself immediately from any situation you feel is unsafe.Walk in lighted areas.

Everyone makes mistakes.

I like pizza parties.

On a more serious note, I hope Amazon Web Services is giving you a break being a Non-Profit. I see you already are discussing this on github

The Keystone State thanks you!

It appears that Franklin TN already has a robust GIS system in place already with building footprints. Franklin TN GIS Department

Perhaps a more effective method would be to ask them nicely to share their data with OSM.
Data Import. Please note that osm wants good data imports.

Some examples like Chicago, Chicago Buildings Import. Zambia, and within the last few days Montgomery County.
