What does the size of the country have to do with it? Which good big and bad small countries are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Most people don't use openstreetmaps on these small countries like with low/medium population it feels like apple maps on there

Can you give an example? Because I've just looked at Luxembourg, Nepal, and Aruba, and they're all littered with named buildings and landmarks. Pyongyang even has a fair bit filled in.
