I've mapped the beautiful Spanish island of #Formentera on #OpenStreetMap. It was an exciting challenge to record street names, addresses, rural addresses, POIs, landcover and more. Formentera covers an area of approximately 83 kmยฒ (32 miยฒ).

Here's a #BeforeAndAfter impression:

@thefabi wow! That's impressive work. It took me 6 months (off and on) just to do my local village and that's tiny.

@thefabi You are an inspiration.

Makes me want to go out and do some StreetComplete.

Excellent work ! How did you dot it? How much time did it take you ?

@kgaiji

I didn't record the exact amount of time it took. If I had mapped everything in one go, it would have taken about a month, working several hours a day.

I first mapped most of it from home using JOSM. Later collected data on site and partially mapped it with StreetComplete and EveryDoor. Then mapped the remaining things using my recordings from home.

Really nice ๐Ÿ‘. How much time did you spent on this? Asking for a friend - who is currently mapping his vacation in Campania (IT) and always thinks OMG so much unmapped buildings, landuses ... focus ;)
Show threadbarefootstacheMar 12

@elgolfo @thefabi
Depending how much time and motivation your friend has, there are considerations to make such as what should be the first priority.

Typically, ground level details would be the first priority such as POIs, street names, start and end house numbers of a street, etc with the focus of being able to navigate to the location.

Afterwards from bird view these details can be extrapolated onto larger items such as buildings, highways, or land-use.
