Oh yeah, my first thought was albedo. You overlay reflectivity satellite imagery on top of OSM with roof colors, and I bet you can learn some interesting stuff.

This was a joy to read, thank you. Nicely done! I love “more data, more better”, too. You never know when something will help someone, but if it’s in there, then it’s in there for whomever comes along in the future.

Thank you! I should’ve read more about offsets beforehand heh; it wasn’t an issue before since I was just adding nodes. Now that I’m editing existing geometry, I have to think through things more carefully and methodically. I’m learning a lot, though.

Welcome! :)

There’s a Mastodon account on https://en.osm.town , UnmappedSmallTownUSA, that regularly posts similar small cities, towns, and hamlets in the United States that could use some mapping.

Oh neat! How are you mapping buildings and such? Imagery? Surveys? A mix? Have you learned anything interesting or surprising since you’ve started? Thank you for contributing, by the way.

Welcome, and congratulations! I’m new, too, and adding and updating things has been a lot of fun.
