Hello,
I think I will reopen the debate here, by asking a simple question:
how many of those saying "hey, let this note open, it does no harm to
anybody" have actually browsed a country for its opened notes and
tried to close them?
Yes, I do this all the time, in the sense that if I'm going to be
mapping somewhere I'll extract notes for that area and stick them on the
Garmin, and if I'm near one I'll go and have a look and see if I can
resolve it, or perhaps even just add a bit more information to it.
How many have done the same with openstreetbugs during its last year
of life?
No, but that's to do with never having extracted OSB bugs from the dump
and converted to something that a Garmin can understand, rather than
what's in there being old and out of date (though I'd agree with you
that in OSB's case it was).
Some notes will need an on-the-ground survey, and some of those notes
will be in places where there currently aren't active on-the-ground
mappers. Surely the solution here is not to close the notes but to try
and engage more new local mappers who can then supply the missing
information?
Cheers,
Andy
