I'd gladly chip in for part of sub so we can export/import en masse to osm in an automated way.

    Note that OSM culture specifies that you should only add data that you have confirmed yourself, or if you go through the steps for a proper data import.

    However that doesn't stop you from preparing a checklist to make it easier to verify each, and then adding the verified ones

    MapQuest uses OSM.

    They might be using it, but they're not using it in my neighborhood. There are wrong streets all over the place and I've keept the OSM for my neighborhood meticulously clean for years. I have thousands of elements across hundreds of houses. And they're not just behind, they have roads that are under contstruction but they're not accurate and I'm the only person who's put them in on OSM, using drone footage I collected myself.

    I'll start doing daytrips and put all the ones in for the metropolitan area near me. wouldn't take that many of us, editing OSM to make it perfect is practicelly a Neuro-Divergent wet dream :) And their editor is very nice.
