I just came across this OSM user diary which links to yet another article on how to manipulate OSM for Pokemon: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/-karlos-/diary/40684 The bothersome part is the replies to the diary entry where people bring up the new edits they've made for the game. Since I'm

Been following the thread - my two cents on what I'm seeing around Florida. 1) Seems like a major increase in new mappers and edits in just the past two weeks, and before that an increase overall since the pokemon / osm connection was publicized. 2) Many /most of the influx of new mappers are

Andy, Yesterday I responded to a months worth of new editors in a single day. Most of the edits were not vandalism although a few were. Some were exceptional with the amount of detail added. What I've noticed mostly is footpaths not connected to streets, buildings not being square and poorly
