OpenStreetMap
Big personal milestone met today. Throughout my town, I have mapped all the roads through GPX tracks, and I removed all the TIGER:reviewed=no tags, in openstreetmap. Admittedly, I do live in a small town, but it is a good feeling to finally say that I have seen first-hand all of those little roads.
Where to go now? There is really so much left to do, with stop signs, buildings, street addresses, land types, and social structures. But, I am still excited to continue street mapping, so I will be pushing into the bordering towns and verifying the TIGER data there.
I am starting to find uses for more tools. I used OSMAnd+ to capture some pictures, for the first time. The JOSM integration for GPX images is really terrific. I have installed openstreetview, and I am looking forward to trying that on a future ride. There are still many tools left to explore, and I will continue to improve my street verification workflow.

That is a fantastic milestone to hit! Congratulations. (Just curious, which town is it?) Let me know what you think of OSV and how it is / could be more useful to your mapping.

Way to go. With your list of todo’s, signage, buildings, addresses, don’t forget sidewalks.

I remember reaching that milestone in my hometown too, years ago. Quite a giddy feeling :) The next steps (housenumbers and buildings, in my case) can take a looooong time (I’m still working on it here). And POIs are never finished.
