Tips
- Avoid old memories↙ (even you live there for X0 years, world is constantly changing, your memories are outdated)
- Avoid guessing↙
- Describe hard parts or objects recently changed in the real world
- simple but descriptive notes will help you and others during process
- using good changeset comments so you don't have to rely on satellite imagery or anything else
- Try to avoid big changes without recent knowledge of area↙
- It is good idea to consult your fellow mappers before your changes via contact channels
- Try to comment your deletions or even make dedicated changeset with descriptive comment
- Try to avoid automated edits and execute them with caution
Pros
- You don't need anything else but pair of eyes
- You don't need dedicated time to record or to process something, just live, look around yourself and add details to OpenStreetMap!↙
- You don't need to prepare anythng unlike in other techniques
Cons
- You will have troubles memorize everything (or at least in single pass)
- Especially in unknown location to you
- Especially in recently changed location
- Especially in area without recent Aerial Imagery
- Especially objects with complex/non-linear geometry: Walt Disney Concert Hall, Museo Guggenheim Bilbao and many many others
- Complex highway inter-exchanges may be challenging to detail without using satellite navigation
