Wow, I didn't think it would find anything for my hometown, but it actually showed me 6 cigarette and 1 normal vending machine. Where do you get the data from? Might be interesting to tinker with
@fabianstadler Everything is #OpenStreetMap data, so someone added it. You can see the history of an object if you log in and press the green OSM-logo.
And if you know of missing vending machines, you can add them yourself too - that is why the button 'add new feature' is there ;)
@fabianstadler There are so many weird and great things on OpenStreetMap. Check the "Surveillance under surveillance" map theme on MapComplete. And I myself added each and every tree in my city center.
excited for the mastodon rise

in reply to Fabian 🌵 • • •@fabianstadler Well, it is hard to believe what types of very specific things people have added to the map, but it all matters.
And make sure to checkout the other thematic maps as well - there will definitively be something there that interests you

Keep in mind that many items are not on the map (yet), but you can help with it
