There's a whole section on the Canadian page in the OSM wiki for how to map Tim Horton's depending on if they're inside of other places or not, haha.

I'm dealing with some weird ones, like laundromat cafés and stationery shop cafés. But at least it looks like I can add an amenity tag to most of these. It's just the bar/café that I'm really struggling with.
In the case of the café/bar, they are distinctly the same place. It's actually something I've run across several times in different places, usually they're more upscale than your typical café. Pretty good venue for a date that you're not sure how long you want it to last!
Ah, but I'm doing edits all over the map. Selecting 50 crossings is tough when I don't remember which ones I've done this session. They should really just fix this bug.
It adds crossing:markings=no, which I feel like an unmarked crossing should have by default.
By "in bulk" do you mean the constance clicking back and forth between the right and left panes to upgrade each one individually?
Ah, I didn't see the further examples! This is definitely the right choice. Thank you!
I don't know a single person with a dedicated GPS anymore except sailors. Everyone uses Google Maps.
I focus on the small details when I'm out walking. I have the advanced version of Street Complete and I add every single bike rack, water fountain, phone booth, charging station, mail drop box, etc, that I see. It's so convenient to be able to find these things when I need them later, and I'm sure other people will appreciate it as well.
OSM is not popular in Canada, partially due to a vicious cycle where there isn't enough information filled in so people don't use it so nobody contributes. I used it because in my old city the map was basically perfect (I think it was imported from City data,) and I had no data plan so I needed offline maps.
After I moved I noticed that the map was incomplete so I started contributing again. There are around 5 names in my area that I see contributing on a nearly daily basis. That might not seem like much, but I've singlehandedly nearly finished my neighborhood's buildings and sidewalks in the last two months.
Still, get your friends into it. I showed a friend of mine who bikes OrganicMaps after Google Maps routed him on a 4" wide dirt footpath in the dark one night. He was sold right away when I showed him that he can search for water fountains. Another friend of mine loved how detailed OSM was compared to Google Maps and switched as well, and now they help me with Street Complete sometimes. Every bit helps.
Does that seem high, or low?
I wonder how one would choose which project to contribute imagery to.
I said something similar last time this was posted.
