OpenStreetMap
All restaurants, takeaways and cafes in Cambridge now mapped! Apart from any I've accidentally missed. Yum yum.
Did a little bit of GPSing in Morley, West Yorkshire last week when I went up to visit my mum. There's been a lot of good mapping in the area, but Morley's quite sparse at the moment.

Well done, that's excellent work. What's next, pubs and hotels?

That's awesome! Brilliant work. How far out did you go - any of the surrounding suburbs / villages?
I'm continuing my attempt to map all the businesses on all the streets I typically visit but at the moment this is mostly useful just for the namefinder, since they're generally not rendered. Plus, it's tricky categorising some of them.
It's just really great to have restaurants filled in completely. It makes it all so much more useful to know I can just search for random restaurants I'm meeting people at; also makes it better for giving people directions. You must have worked really intensively to get everything mapped so quickly - I know from experience how tedious it is mapping features along a street like that.
