I guess taking labels from OSM is akin to taking your facts from Wikipedia (except that Wikipedia actually tends to be pretty well curated these days).
- lupusreal 2y agoIn fairness to OSM volunteers, a lot of Wikipedia's subject space is historical or otherwise relatively stable, while everywhere OSM maps is in danger of being changed in the real world. Just comprehensively mapping one small town takes many hours and by the time you work your way through region much of what you mapped will be different IRL. Aerial photography only updates periodically, which helps in a sense but also hurts because anything you map with that will most likely be outdated from the start.
