I finally started to fill data in to #OpenStreetMap.
At first I just looked at how several features are already tagged, then slowly started to correct wrong data and then add missing details.
I use #StreetComplete app to add details on walk travels,
#OsmAnd app to add POIs and of course the iD web editor for larger edits.
I am especially impressed by the iD editor. It's so helpfull with clever use of autocomplete and linking to #OSM wiki...
The best reward is 3D view becoming more realistic...

On OSM Wiki there are two 3D renderers worth metioning:
🗺️ demo.f4map.com/ That's the map in the image. I use it more because it refreshes data more often. But it's proprietary.
🗺️ streets.gl/
That should be open source and some details look there better. But they refresh very sporadically.

the level of detail is amazing. All the stuff I have mapped the last months.

It really looks like it is out there!

Nex I really need to take care of roof shapes and Building Parts!

Thank for sharing!

Good to see another person contributing. One thing that bit me a couple times when learning OSM was realizing that just because it was on the map doesn't mean it was correct or the best way of doing it. I recommend double checking against the wiki if you're not sure.

Id does do a great job for the basic tags.

JOSM is the standard for even more advanced edits.

@jhaluska True. I already found several tags that were used against wiki recommendations. What I mainly meant by learning from existing map data is discovering tags expressing the feature you want to add.

Did you know that you can use the StreetComplete things or stores overlay to add POIs? This saves you having to switch. For even more options, there's also SCEE! github.com/Helium314/SCEE
A more advanced version of StreetComplete where you can edit the raw tags of an object for example and plenty of more quests.
