I've been trying to persuade country-walking groups to use OSM. There is

I've been trying to persuade country-walking groups to use OSM. There is
a lot of useful stuff there not shown on OS Explorer -- stiles, kissing
gates, benches, bus stops, all pubs, cafes, etc. It's a lot more
up-to-date, and if they find

My thanks to Mateusz and Dave for their comments, which I would like to
try to summarise as I see it:
* the purpose of OSM mapping in the UK of rural buildings is primarily
to provide a general location of properties i.e. accuracy and
precision are unnecessary.
* 'armchair' mapping

My impression is that the target for a lot of the material in OSM is
professional users of maps, rather than the general public.

I have not tried Vector Map Local (seems pricey if you want to cover
large rural areas and I am not running a business).
As far as I know, OSMAI only covers England (not Scotland?)
Re purpose - in Scotland there are sites (e.g. https://osg.scot/portal/)
that enable you to find a property

OSM building data was already used in Poland for flood preparation analysis.
It was used to supplement official building dataset, that was of much higher
detail and accuracy,
but also outdated (updated every N years) and was not including illegally
constructed buildings

Hi Mateusz
Many thanks for your comments.
It would also be good to hear from others, particularly around the
question of the purpose of mapping. I was thinking that my purpose was
to provide other people (OSM mappers and the general public) with the
information that meets their needs. The

Dear all
I have been mapping a few properties using Bing maps with local
knowledge supplemented by some physical measuring (tape measure or
simply pacing). I now want to ramp up my mapping but the challenge
especially in rural areas is that sometimes the outline of a building is
not clear -
