I hadn't visited @OpenInfraMap in a while: it's a pretty impressive custom rendering of power and telecommunication infrastructure in OpenStreetMap.

If you need something new to map in OpenStreetMap, looks like lots of neighborhoods still need to have their power poles mapped! 😳

@alan @OpenInfraMap Wow, never seen this before! If it had raster tiles they could be included as a map layer on OSM.org

Have also never seen this and it is amazing. Is there a list of all such views that pull their data from OSM?

@Iragersh TagInfo, which shows stats on what OSM Tags are in use, has a way for other projects to register as uses of a tag. You could use this to find OSM data users. taginfo.openstreetmap.org/proj

@alan @OpenInfraMap Wow, that's cool! Just learned that apparently there is a 110kV line just 10m from my couch. 😅

@alan @OpenInfraMap Also, if you switch on the "Telecoms" layer in the layer selector (in the toolbar on the right, last icon) you can see some submarine cables and many telecoms towers. Looks like this kind of equipment is very under-mapped as well, though.
