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.

They keep introducing and evolving tags. OSM is more dynamic than I anticipated.

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.
