This tool redirects you to a random open OpenStreetMap Note.
They are used for reporting map errors or improvements.
Many notes can be resolved without surveying the location, be it with aerial imagery, official sources or because someone already fixed the issue.
This tool uses a smart random queue on its own backend (not via OSM API) in which a note will be served again only after all other notes have been already shown.
Got feeedback? Let me know in the OSM forum thread.
Code available on GitHub.
Tips
- Turn on the Notes layer at openstreetmap.org to look for other notes in the vicinity.
- If a user's note contained useful feedback, check other notes in their OSM profile.
- Save these bookmarklets to translate a note or browse historical OSM data at the time of note creation
- Check stats about notes on Pascal Neis' site.
- The green button is bookmarkable if you want to bypass this list in the future. Just right click on it after selecting a country.
