I discovered @streetcomplete some time ago and began answering quests, as a small and regular contribution to #OSM datas. It's fun, and this is a way to re-discover my daily neighbourhood in #montreal
Some questions for streetcomplete users :
- how to edit a quest when I accidentally validate a wrong data ?
- is there a way to add informations (objects) for public #art pieces, which are located in public space ? (such as sculptures, statues, murals...)

Thanks for your help ๐Ÿ™

Today's fun with OpenStreetMap and route planners: A route planner for Denmark that refuses to drive on roads named after men.

About 40,000 Danish roads (= 35 % af all Danish roads) have been tagged with name:etymology:wikidata to tag into Wikidata's structured content.

Other ideas for funny restrictions? Roads named after politicians of specific political parties? Roads named after royals? (ยกViva la revoluciรณn!) Roads named after Swedes?

Many companies have been editing OSM, including giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon. Corporate contributors can map on a global scale and add large amounts of data in a short time.

This new study explores the impact of corporate mapping and highlights the need for transparency:
