I finally started to fill data in to .
At first I just looked at how several features are already tagged, then slowly started to correct wrong data and then add missing details.
I use app to add details on walk travels,
app to add POIs and of course the iD web editor for larger edits.
I am especially impressed by the iD editor. It's so helpfull with clever use of autocomplete and linking to wiki...
The best reward is 3D view becoming more realistic...

@stepan Good to see another person contributing. One thing that bit me a couple times when learning OSM was realizing that just because it was on the map doesn't mean it was correct or the best way of doing it. I recommend double checking against the wiki if you're not sure.

Id does do a great job for the basic tags.

JOSM is the standard for even more advanced edits.

@bogo @stepan It is, I probably only understand and use 1/10th of it.

It just handles larger areas more efficiently, has customizable filters and has a ton of useful plugins.

@jhaluska True. I already found several tags that were used against wiki recommendations. What I mainly meant by learning from existing map data is discovering tags expressing the feature you want to add.

@stepan They keep introducing and evolving tags. OSM is more dynamic than I anticipated.

@stepan Pekny! Koukam, ze pouzivas matrix i jabber, pokud bys chtel nekdy poradit ohledne tagovani/mapovani mame nejen na techto protokolech propojenej chat viz openstreetmap.cz/git/mahdi1234

@stepan Did you know that you can use the StreetComplete things or stores overlay to add POIs? This saves you having to switch. For even more options, there's also SCEE! github.com/Helium314/SCEE
A more advanced version of StreetComplete where you can edit the raw tags of an object for example and plenty of more quests.
