There have been some gems in there but it is like mining for diamonds you've got to sort through a lot of ore to find them. Particularly interesting has been WA where entire mine sites or other industry has just appeared (and you can switch back and forward between image supplies and see before and after). The listings from onosm.org have been a little sad as a not small fraction of them are for businesses that have gone bust in the time between posting and getting around to mapping them. So many of them are annoying because you quickly realise that when you go and try to verify their street addresses you know they're not going to tell you. I also am a bit ambivalent about adding businesses because you realise after a while that for every add note there is a note about a business that has gone. I've been trying to add a website or social media link to each one I add so that at least there is the hope that when they go out of business their links will go dead and get flagged by KeepRight. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
