<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I realized when mapping today that it would be very useful to have a<br>
set of OSM status POIs that you could use to mark the status of the<br>
mapping at certain places.<br>
<br>
I find I sometimes have to skip roads, tracks or paths, because I am<br>
too tired, don't have time, or that I'm going at good speed downhill<br>
and don't want to stop. I've tried to make mental notes to return and<br>
map those missing roads at a later time but as time goes by, you tend<br>
to forget.<br>
<br>
It would be very useful to have a POI saying for example "unmapped<br>
highway/path etc. starts here". Then you could check out and select<br>
those points in your area, and they would serve as a reminder to you<br>
(or others coming along) that there's something here not yet mapped.<br>
<br>
These POIs would also serve as "bite-size" mapping projects if you're<br>
looking for quick things to do in your area.<br>
<br>
I guess there are other instances where an OSM status POIs would be<br>
useful.<br>
<br>
