Have you ever needed street widths on #openstreetmap but found that the width data on #osm is very much incomplete and if present, often in non standardized notation?
I ran into this problem recently and published a #python package that deals with this problem: osm guesstimator.

Google Maps has decided I live in a town about 16km from my house. I did nothing to change this, and it's been defaulting to my actual house for the four years I've lived here.

Apple Maps on my phone doesn't list as many local businesses.

Does OpenStreetMap know about local businesses/restaurants? Is there a good "I just need to search a map" front-end?

If there are any OpenStreetMap contributors reading, I have an important correction that needs to be made regarding Spokane, Washington:

I used to live on the South Hill, and could walk to Moran Prairie Elementary School within 10 minutes. It was located at the base of the hill (the street I used to live on is highlighted in orange) However, on OpenStreetMap, it is showing Chase Middle School, which is much further away. I don't know how to edit OpenStreetMap, but there is an important correction that needs to be made here.

I have noted this error to be visible for over 2 months without any attempts to fix it.

Le projet BANO (Base Adresses Nationale Ouverte sur OpenStreetMap France avance doucement mais sûrement en Drôme (26). Dernièrement, j'ai réalisé l'adressage des communes suivantes :

- La Coucourde
- Les Tourrettes
- Condillac
- Grâne
- Ambonil
- Cliousclat
- Bellecombe-Tarendol
- Valouse
- Teyssières
- Rouchefourchat

D'autres communes sont en cours :
- Mirmande
- Vesc
- Loriol-sur-Drôme

Does Open Street Map intentionally include fake data? I've added a note on something which demonstrably doesn't exist but wonder why / how it got there in the first place.
