Please let me know if I can improve my contributions. I appreciate the opportunity to learn.

My goal in contributing to this project is twofold:

  1. to make the data useful enough that the general public feels confident relying on it for regular use. My hope is that with a large number of users, enough of them will fix data errors and make small contributions that the map data will stay up to date in a more sustainable way.

  2. for fun. I enjoy learning about the world around me and mapping new areas or features is a way I get to explore the world without having to leave my desk. Most of this would not be possible without good aerial and street-level imagery which I am grateful for.

I like to map pretty much everything! The few things I could think of that don’t fall in to one of the above two categories: boundaries (except for coastlines), places with poor aerial imagery, golf courses, and Canvec imports.

In order of preference, I map using iD, StreetComplete, and Every Door.
