OpenStreetMap achievement

From Geohashing
Revision as of 19:40, 3 October 2011 by imported>Jack1254 (moved OpenStreetMap ribbon to OpenStreetMap Achievement: Moved the page to conform with naming norms and to distinguish the ribbon from the actual achievement.)
This is a proposal made on 2011-07-04. Please leave comments and suggestions on Talk:OpenStreetMap achievement, indicating whether you:
  • Support the proposal
  • Do not oppose it
  • Oppose (this option requires you to watch the page and return to comment on modifications), or
  • Think it Needs work before you can decide.

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

This achievement may be claimed when you contribute one or more new geographical features worth adding to OpenStreetMap. You can claim this achievement even if the expedition was unsuccessful, especially if the map features you add explain your failure.

The feature(s) must be at least partially in sight of the hashpoint (i.e., the entire lake or airstrip does not need to be visible).

Proof

Describe the feature/s you added and give a link to the OSM coordinates. If appropriate, include a screen shot of the OSM feature/s.

Background

Like Geotrashing, adding to OpenStreetMap is a public spirited thing to do but perhaps more lasting.

Perhaps we can encourage OSM editors to take up geohashing. The two activities fit well together. Visit a random place and if it's interesting, put it on the map.
