After all of this time, OSM still has many glaring (maybe still necessary) empty spots. Usually involving bodies of water. I could point to, for example, thousands of square miles of lake country in the Canada map which are -empty-. (I usually shrug and switch to Bing.)
I can only guess how their editing priorities are mapped out (is there a Wiki or something?) but I'm guessing that's related to visitor numbers.
- porjo 9y agoOpenstreetmap depends on ordinary users adding/editing what they care about. Why not have a go editing those areas yourself :)
- andrewshadura 9y agoThe editing preferences are defined by what people find fun, or by the itch they want to scratch. If you've got your own itch to scratch, feel free to.
- tommorris 9y agoIf you don't want to add them yourself, be sure to leave a note. Notes are basically bug reports for OSM. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes
- rmc 9y agoThere is no global editing priorities. People map what they want. So in Ireland a few of us spent a while mapping historic administrative boundaries. Someone who's interested in cycling will map cycle infastruvture etc.
