Have you ever thought “Gee I wonder if you took #OpenStreetMap data, and coloured the image based on the distance to the nearest building?”No? What kind of person _are_ you? 😛(red=0→1km, orange=1→2km, yellow=2→5km,green=5→50km, blue=>50km)

Don't forget, only a few days left to have your opinion counted in the 2021 #OSMF Community Survey! Please take a few mins to fill in this anonymous survey to help the #OpenStreetMap Foundation Board (which I'm on) know more about the community. 🙂 (boosts welcome)https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2021/01/18/community-survey/#OSM

“The beauty of the #OpenStreetMap project is its ability to incorporate different viewpoints,” Oh yes! We are all able to edit the same one #OSM commonly owned database, and different interest groups can do different things, and that's great. 🙂 #xp

(The #OpenStreetMap rule of thumb is to not map things that will only be there for less than a month)
