mfs be like "born too late to explore the world 😢" does openstreetmap look complete to you?

@nycki @mochabeau i think most people saying this nowadays are actually thinking about joining the merchant navy or exploring antarctica, not doing localised genocide

@MossGrowsOnNormanRuins@defcon.social @mochabeau@infosec.exchange oh! that's a relief.

@nycki @mochabeau like, there's the implication that they eventually plan on settling down by the sea in some far of land with a local wife, and it feels a little bit icky passport bro-esque, but like 99/100 people using the phrase are definitely not thinking about gunning down native americans left right and centre à la John Wayne

@mochabeau why would i waste my time on that

@privateger @mochabeau That app is so cool! How can you view the info that it adds, though? Can you see opening hours i.e. in OsmAnd?

@garbrys@dragonchat.org @mochabeau@infosec.exchange it submits it to OSM proper with your OSM account, so your data will make it into clients eventually

@mochabeau
it's called "urban exploration" just don't get caught, silly

@privateger @mochabeau i feel like i could get hopelessly addicted to this oh no

@mochabeau yes! I get to feel like a cartographer! (I guess because I am)

@privateger @mochabeau Been investigating a bit, the nicest app that uses OSM data seems to be MAPS.ME. Unlike OsmAnd and Magic Earth, it can give me a route to a place with more than one public transport segment. Hope more people start using StreetComplete too, it really is super simple and it's very smooth in the hands.

@mochabeau
Actually it's very complete, for me

I'm down to just updating if the crosswalks are raised, curbs cut, and if the bus stop has a bench.

All things which anyone who uses the space already knows.
