(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% OpenStreetMap, and updated daily. Something missing on WWM.org means something missing on OSM. You can fix that yourself!

(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% OSM. You edit it to fix it yourself.

(I made WaterwayMap.org) There isn't a legend, because all waterways are treated the same.

(I made WaterwayMap.org) Yeah, it's been very useful to make OSM data better. > some streams are disconnected by other waterbodies where they should not be, as there seems to be li…

(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% from OpenStreetMap. I only have to deal with 1 dataset. I suspect people have imported data from Massachusetts into OSM, hence why you see…

(I made WaterwayMap.org) The data is 100% OpenStreetMap. It's possible many rivers are missing the `boat` tag (which that uses). If you add the missing tag, then it'll appear on WW…

Nope, it's 100% OpenStreetMap data. (I made WaterwayMap.org)

“Who mapped these?” All the data is from OpenStreetMap! _(I made WaterwayMap.org)_

I made WaterwayMap.org. I wanna make a watershed map too!

Lovely! I'm Irish, we don't have it as much. But I'd love to do a canal boat holiday. Doddleing along the canals, stopping in a lovely english country pub... oh I can dream. I made…

(I'm the creator) . There's a few views which will bring in _named_ streams, the `waterway` & `name` tag views. I tried to calculate it with any waterway tag, which would include u…

(I'm the creator of this) Yes lots of rivers are missing those sort of connections through lakesᵉᵗᶜ, but that's not unique to USA. Please keep mapping to fix up things.

Hi! I'm the creator of this tool! I'm open to more feedback, and suggestions. Even related views. Lots of people discovering OSM through this, which is great. This sort of tool is …

I'm the creator of this. Yes, it's precomputed on a computer, but it only takes ~30 mins to calculate each view. Most of that time is file I/O (which I really need to refactor) fol…

That's awesome

I think there have been screenshots of group chats where politicians have said something embarassing. This is a case where the politician would have no problem saying “That's a fak…

That's just one (knowledable & influential) person's opinion. “OSM” itself doesn't “have views” on topics as complicated as that.
