Worst of OSM in Ghana #0000

Posted by Enock4seth on 6 May 2024 in English.

Hello OSM World,

Welcome to #WOSMinGhana 000

I am starting a series of OSM Diary posts title Worst of OSM in Ghana, inspired by best and worst of OSM posts I have seen. The idea is to share one photo per week (I hope I can keep up, feel free to share any you might have seen in Ghana too :D). i.e. Before and After (if I am able to improve or fix it)

Sometimes you come across very interesting mapping activities and data and you are out of words. Myself and other volunteer mappers have taken screenshots of worst contributions on OSM in Ghana over the years and then proceeded to improve them / notify mappers or organizations.

Why talk about the worst not the best? Highlighting these worst mappings might help create more awareness about what we put out there as part of individual or organized mapping activities.

This is purposely to help improve OSM data in Ghana in these areas by myself or other mappers and for us all to beware of when mapping.

Looking forward to the coming weeks.

Location: Kwameteng, Sekyere Central District, Ashanti Region, Ghana

This sounds so interesting! Just a word of caution that hopefully this will not turn into edit shaming a contributor or mapping organization. Looking forward!

Hi, I am wondering why you feel I will be shaming editors or organizations?
