I've made some good progress mapping out Sebeka in Minnesota over the past couple months :D
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/46.6301/-95.0900
I'd love to finish mapping all the buildings but it starts to feel like a chore :s
If I get a chance I’ll try help out there as well.
I find that this happens with me when I start trying to add too much detail from the start. I’ll get overwhelmed at how much there still is and then it feels like a chore.
I’ve started just adding building outlines and then once that’s done I’ll go add some more detail to a couple places.
Here's a screenshot from before:
Wow that's excellent progress! Keep up the good work :)
