It says I've mapped 7232.
I expect I've done around 100 streets, so that works fine. But what's my
rank?

Extra points for postcodes (although often I leave these to the related
street), relations with street(s), and building outlines?
This list might encourage me to get some more, although more likely is
seeing the holes I have. The evenings are getting lighter, I'll continue
soon!
