Unmapped USA - Mastodon Bot (lemdro.id)

I thought I’d share this Mastodon bot - @SmallTownUSA - here as I’ve found it great fun.

Posting towns in the USA with a population less than 1000 that are undermapped on OpenStreetMap.org

I quite enjoy mapping areas that have nothing or very little mapped. This bot kind of helps with that. Although, I’d love another one for my home country and current country of residence.

I LOVE looking at before/after screenshots. Especially when there was nothing there before or very little and then someone comes and adds a whole bunch of stuff.
