[talk-au] OSM Carto features are missing on the map outside the Europe and in rural places.

[nwastra]

On the OSM Forum > Rendering maps OpenStreetMap Carto (default map on OSM.org) 
kokio mentioned that are discussing currently what features are missing on the 
map outside the Europe and in rural places.
I thought this might be an opportunity for us to raise anything you think is 
relevant from an Australian perspective.

Re: [talk-au] Announcing: OpenStreetCam competition

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all, 

I am not sure if user robbie-blogs is reading on this list -- if you are, 
please get in touch to get your gift card.

For all others, the competition is still ongoing and you have until Jan 31 to 
make your way into the top 3 contributors over the months of December 2018 and 
January 2019 and win a $25 or $100 gift card.

Some stats so far: we started at 126 752 images in Australia on Dec 1, now we 
are at 330 648 covering 8882 km of which 6293 unique.

Happy mapping / capturing :)
