To verify, yes.

It’s against Google Maps’ ToS (Terms of Service) however to use its exact coordinates for anything outside of Google Maps. This is mostly to prevent others from using exact information (map or otherwise,) and then compete against them.

Sure thing.

On OpenStreetMap (OSM) there are four main things you can do.

1. Mapping: Trace features like roads, buildings, waterways, and land use from satellite imagery

2. Editing: Update existing map data to reflect changes, such as new roads or buildings.

3. Validation: Check and correct errors in the map data to ensure accuracy and completeness.

4. Tagging: Add detailed information to map features, such as names, types, and other attributes.

All of these can be achieved via OSM’s web app.

Here is the Beginners’ guide if you want more info.

I’d be willing to answer your questions if you had any. And I’m sure others that map edit for OSM would be willing to do the same.

That’s really cool. How did you get started as a volunteer EMT?

I know that this might present a feeling of trolling or annoyance, but I take my hat off to Cart Narcs for taking it even further, to call out these people.

Oh heck yeah! Help fellow editor. =)

Come join us if you haven’t. Even if you only have 10-15 minutes to do something, it all helps in the end. There are plenty of things to do and no pressure for you to do all of them or even most of them.
