@Cyber Global rank of #303 on StreetComplete. I've been doing this for years. It's a passion.

Nice! Ok, I've been doing this for a couple of years, but I think SC just shows actual number of days something was entered

But.. #303... I've got a looong way to go

(I bet you're a delivery driver ๐Ÿ˜‰)

@Cyber Nah, I just walk around alot (especially on the weekends), and I fill in a lot of maps on the OSM iD interface.

Thatโ€™s so cool they have ranks!

Yeah, you get Quests and "unlock" things - which is mostly links to sites that use OSM data for interesting things.

It's fun for a bit, but I'm glad that after a while you don't see them anymore...

I'm happy just recording the opening times for a decent friendly restaurant... and the name of a bustop... and house numbers... and street lighting... and...

Edit: Oh and I've covered 7 countries by the look of it. Canada and EU mostly...
