I agree with you I always map on street and I made at least two trips per month. It’s exciting, yes, fun and effective too. I have an iPhone with GoMap!! installed. This app allows adding items quickly by OSM program language as well as by item search.
Plus, adding things real-time means you can add more details as much as possible. My favourite items that I usually added into the maps are: - Shops and services: cafe, restaurants, hairdressers, convenience stores. - Amenities: bike parkings, waste baskets, toilets, water fountains and fire hydrants. - Roads: foot paths in a park, bike lanes. - Street lights. I visited Canberra twice last year. It was surprising that the city centre was mapped for simply, and many facilities were missing. So I spent about 3 hours mapping the shops and amenities into the map. For a mapping nerd like me, mapping on a street is fun and a good way to exercise. Tuan.
