Interesting. The coverage of these notes is almost global. I don't see any in South America or Australia but otherwise there are some on each continent.
I also see some reported speed limits in the U.S. in km/h which is most likely not correct. Once upon a time I suggested adding a kind of created_by type of field to notes that would eventually be required for 3rd party applications posting anonymous notes. But it seems no code has magically appeared to do this yet.
