If they have started construction they are definitely verifiable enough to map.

The road markings might justify a public\_transport=stop\_position if that is common in your area, otherwise I think should be enough to just add a node with highway=construction and construction=bus\_stop roughly where the pole or shelter will be.

@possiblylinux127 Well no, it's entertainment. You don't get many FOSS novels either, not that are worth reading at least.

@possiblylinux127 @variants Isn't Steam on linux now?

@possiblylinux127 @gigachad I don't but I would like to defend it from fictional zombies.

@variants This looks cool, I will definitely give this a go when it's released properly.

I wonder if they pull the data straight from Overpass or if they use a cached copy on their servers.

@Mex
I'm guessing like most of their "open" stuff this will also be deliberately degraded to the point of being nearly useless?

@Mex That's @richardf on the Fediverse btw.

@soloojos
This seems like it'd be the opposite of an @openstreetmap thing.

There are a variety of geocoders that use OpenStreetMap data.

Availability of address data varies by area.

With the project starting in London the mailing lists have a lot of inertia behind them for British mappers. If you join I'd recommend a dedicated email address.

There's a full listing on the wiki, but talk-gb is probably the biggest.

They also have a local chapter that organises quarterly projects, but I don't think they host much in the way of discussion.

You don't have to try to use something as complicated as the full HOT style tasking manager. For personal projects something like SimpleTaskManager 1 or the Divide and Map Now 2 project can make this simple for smaller areas.
