[OSM-talk] Using OpenStreetMap on a daily basis

[Arlindo Pereira]

I once read one of the "OSM gurus" (can't remember who, maybe it was andy
but I'm not sure) that said "Render and they'll map".

Here in Rio, there's not an overwhelming number of mappers, but from those
only a fraction care to enter all POIs details such as address. I think
that this happens basically because they "don't seem to matter", because
they are not shown on the main OSM interface. Maybe if they're clickable,
more mappers would add more detail.

Cheers,
Arlindo "Nighto" Pereira
