If you're out for a walk this weekend, and spot a memorial bench, please take a geotagged photo and upload it to openbenches.org/
We've got over thirty-two thousand benches - all added by people like you.
Every bench gets posted on our Mastodon-bot @openbenches
THANKS GANG!

It doesn't get uploaded automatically because people taking photos don't always have the same precision GPS coordinates as needed for mapping.

in reply to CubeOfCheese • • •For what it's worth mapcomplete.org/benches.html makes it pretty easy to add images to #OpenStreetMap objects.
I thought @MapComplete had a carousel of nearby WikiMedia images for easy crosslinking but it's not showing up for me for the themes that I thought had it.
Edit: there's a "browse and link nearby images" button much further down the form.
