An OSM Vacation

Skrivet av mtc den 28 februari 2017 på English.

Doing some mapping during a week-long vacation. Really fun indeed. Great way to explore a place that I have never seen before. At first glance, the area looks complete already, but it is all imported data, so there is a lot to check and fix.

Today, I was asking a very old lady - who was walking with her two unleashed cats in her front yard - where was the lighthouse that I was verifying. She looked surprised, but gave me quite clear directions. As it turns out, the tiny lighthouse had been converted into a residence, and it was no longer being used as a navigational aid. The neighboring houses are just as large, and they made the already squat structure look comically small. I had a good chuckle, on seeing this unusual neighborhood.
