Many, many streets are missing from OSM - anyone who would like to help could use Nearmap's aerial photography to trace all the streets that are missing.

There is lots of rural areas that Nearmap covers that aren't currently mapped, especially lesser roads between towns, but it takes almost as much effort to find areas that need mapping as it does to map them.

Of course - which is why I figure the best approach is to make some noise on my diary ;)

p.s. Having made a start on filling in Dunsborough of course.

Wow - just had a look at the area again - thanks for filling the rest of Dunsborough out.

A good way to find areas in need of mapping is looking at the area on low-res yahoo aerial photos; they are good enough to see if "something" is there to map.

Sure - Dunsborough is extremely urbanized now - it's nothing like it was 20+ years ago, and has largely taken the role of "slightly out of the city tourist spot" that Mandurah used to have. So I was a little surprised that it only had some circa 1996 ways.
Another good way is to mention it in your diary, then anyone with some spare time can lend a helping hand :) I should have mentioned it in my first post that I got a start on it, but I had to go to work...
