My favorite part of OSM is categorizing the buildings and roads. I am getting much more efficient, and I am even exploring areas further away from my home location. Unfortunately, the one part of my process that has let me down is my android phone device. I am surprised by this, but I think it shows focus has moved away in this time of the ubiquitous android phone.

When I am on the ground checking road names and intersections, it is hugely helpful to check my screen for OSM data. It has replaced all the pen and paper requirements. But the one thing that I cannot see is whether the no tag is present. The lack of this information has had me checking streets where I had already checked previously.

And I fairly often map address nodes on the edge of building ways, since there are often multiple addresses associated with one building, and the only way to map them when doing a ground survey is by mapping the addresses seen on the entrances.
