Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

Oh I just map it without using gmaps? How's that work?
You are not allowed to use Google Maps for this. Ther is copyright protection on it.
How does it work? You go there and note down the addresses.
lol
You can use another service to navigate there. And than do your own survey, and add the addresses to osm. You are not allowed to copy from Google, but it's not because of us, but it's in Google's terms of service.
After your initial survey you won't need to use Gmaps again. And if you survey the neighbors, not just your original destination, maybe you can help others in the future.
Also mapping is fun! Try it, you will know better your area.
