As someone who recently started one of those "Can I walk every street in my city?" endeavors, I've become much more aware of how OSM works, and have gained a lot of respect for it.
This literally shows crowdsourcing of updates in action, and makes me want to contribute more where I can.
- dualthro 6y agoAny advice on apps that facilitate the "Walk Every Street in my city" thing? Ideally just something where I could mark that I've walked a street, or perhaps better can mark that I have walked it, or biked it, and so on.
- pugworthy 6y agoI use Strava to track walks, then import the data into the CityStrides website. They work well together. Route planning is tough, even with automated helpers like Every Street Challenge (http://www.everystreetchallenge.com/ http://www.everystreetchallenge.com/). Automated ones don't take into account things like being able to cut through a park as a short cut. Usually for route planning I pick a chunk of streets bound north and south, east and west by some primary streets, then print it out and hand-optimize the route.
