A little About Me

I work within IT and have years worth of experience using Ordinance Survey maps within the Lake District while volunteering for 42 Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions.

Alongside my herb garden and server farm, I like to tend to maps in my spare time, I use the StreetComplete app to make edits on my outings, often updating Shops opening times and completing road data.

Accuracy

My road measurements come from Newcastle Council road design layout guidance.

Why?

My plan is to answer all the StreetComplete questions within a 3-mile radius of my dwelling and to have every road and house, mailbox and bus shelter documented to the fullest extent. This relates to my dissertation work, where I used OpenStreet map data to predict congestion with AI.
