Mine is mapping. I am a big OpenStreetMap contributor and I have mapped many towns near me that were previously completely unmapped.

    How do you map

    Is there any liability? NSA, angry exes, employer, anybody finding out that you mapped your own town?

      Why would someone be mad you mapped a town?

        Overblown/unfounded privacy concerns, perhaps?

        The reason I asked is because I don’t know what it entails. If it’s just installing an app and driving around, there’s probably low risk. But if it requires taking pictures of people houses or driving to private properties or parking for more than a few minutes in front of buildings, surely you can see the liability? I’m sorry I had to explain this, honestly. It feels like common sense.

          Lol what?

          He’s talking about a literal map, not creating a street view system etc. At least that’s how I understood it.

          I’m guessing you’re from the US, are you legitimately worried about parking in front of private buildings for minutes? What kind of bizarre dystopian shit is that?

          Are you worried the occupiers will shoot you or the police would arrest you? I genuinely don’t know.
