I’m currently mapping the village i live in (northern Germany). The building outlines and streets where already done by somebody else, so i mainly added the addresses to most buildings in my village and corrected some of the outlines. I did this with Organic Maps and later Vespucci.
Now my question: what other information is important enough to map?
I could go around and map every tree and specify the roof types for the buildings, but that would take ages and I think there are other details that are way more important to map for everyday openstreetmap users.
Is there some wiki page that lists the most important attributes that should be mapped? I searched on the OSM wiki but couldn’t find such a list.
Thanks in advance.
Things that someone might look for: shops, restaurants, vending machines, benches, trashcans, water fountains.
To make the map appear a lot more beautiful and complete: map parks, playgrounds, dog parks, sports pitches, etc. as areas; map any fences, walls and gates around and within them. Lots of playgrounds are just mapped as nodes, so if you find such cases, fix them.
