Hi Rebecca, street pictures are very useful for mapping, esp. if they are
in OSM friendly software like Mapillary or OpenStreetcam as there are
plugins where a mapper can see pictures taken in the area being mapped.
Taking pictures 360 around the monument would also be useful as signs, road
Rebecca,
Thanks for the offer, but as I wrote, I do not map in Ireland. I'm a
Belgian following this mailing list.
However, I do hope someone on this list might get interested in the
topic and start mapping those objects in Ireland.
I wrote an OSM diary entry on the subject a while ago [1]. As
I'm happy to help with some of the Wikimedia Commons element if I can.
Right now we are running a photography competition to get people to take
photos of National Monuments and structures listed by the National
Inventory of Architectural Heritage and upload them to Commons:
(although I do not map in Ireland):
* turn:lanes and destination signs, I find this very useful when they
are mapped.
* wayside shrines (or listed buildings in general) with photos on
Wikimedia Commons
* dog parks

I like getting overhead power lines and underground pipelines when I can
spot them on aerial photos, along with substations, pumping stations and so
on.
Also, swimming pools and tennis courts tend to stand out (on aerials,
again), so I map those when I see them.

my wife has a bad back - so I map speedbumps and general quality and
surface of the road (asphalt good, cobblestones & potholes bad).
we've dogs - so I map public bins, even down to whether they're
specifically for dog excrement.
oh and osmand has this nice feature where it displays a speed limit
Great idea for a topic Colm!
For me it depends. For example, when I'm sitting at the desk and mapping in
JOSM, then my aim is completeness of physical features, so mapping
everything I see on the imagery, then switching on the old scanned maps to
see if there's anything historical I can add, and

Hi,
So, for whatever reason, some of us are interested in specific localities or
projects, e.g. minutely mapping a whole village or neighbourhood, all the roads
in a county or perhaps something more specific, e.g. mapping all shops in a
chain or technical, e.g. I do a fair bit of debugging of
