If you get the time!!!

I agree; I'm also always running out of time...


Say you're out on a walk and you don't map every single footpath in the area on that day, and, because it's a long way away, you're unlikely to go back there.

Or, you notice something missing reasonably close to you but never get out there.

...which is why I use the fixme or note tag *within* the OSM database to flag things I don't complete.



Or, you're mapping somewhere and want to know what's missing.

The likes of LookRight already do this from data direct within the database.
