I reached a little personal milestone at the weekend: I have now completed half the streets in the city (municipality) of Malaga, as measured by CityStrides.

The city has 4580 named streets, and I have covered 2291 of them on foot.

CityStrides is probably my 2nd most used OpenStreetMap "end user" application, after OsmAnd.

How much do I know my city? It seems not much! Only 5.25% mapped. Just found Citystrides, it helps me to map my runs and run new streets with WorkOutDoors. One dev project I'm happy to support.

Today I broke through 1000 named streets completed (walked or run) in the city of Málaga, as measured by CityStrides.

Only another 3600 to go. The first 1000 took me more than 10 years, so....

As an OpenStreetMap contributor, there is a nice feedback loop using tools like this that are based entirely on OSM data. Streets that should be tagged as private become obvious. And I've found many residential streets that should be tagged as steps.

The Finca La Palma barrio in Malaga is perfect for racking up the street count for any kind of EverySingleStreet tracking. I added 19 streets to my total in 20 minutes, but still somehow managed to miss one!

I also confirmed all the sidewalks and pedestrian crossings with StreetComplete, and took a few notes to be added to OSM later.

Anyone else here combining mapping with EverySingleStreet apps like #CityStrides, #StreetFerret, or #Wandrer.earth?

Anyone else sort of hooked on #CityStrides #Running

got a little wild running dead ends, and driveways the past few weeks. 2nd in my small town, rapidly approaching #1, but I want to do it with a long run snagging a bunch of streets. silly games to keep running fun.

@rjayasinghe glaube ich sofort.
Ich habe wohl meine Orientierung mit #citystrides und #wandrer ziemlich trainiert. Auch das einprägen von Karten. Zudem habe ich ein recht gutes Gefühl „wo Norden ist“.
Gerade beim Ablaufen von Wegen im #Hardtwald hab ich da viel gelernt. Mit viel falsch gelaufen und rumgeirrt.

@rjayasinghe Morgähn!
Heute probiere ich mal wieder mit #citystrides voran zu kommen. Fahrrad Anfahrt, Lauf, Rückfahrt. Ugh.

Long distance footpaths aren't what they used to be. I'd walked all of "Pennine Way" before 10am this morning - I was expecting more than a short run of bungalows tbh!

And then (because I had 100 more urgent things to research) I went looking and found that the Pennine Way footpath was named in 1965, and the short road in Barnsley, with other hill named roads nearby, seems to be on the 1955-61 OS map. So I have walked the original Pennine Way I guess!

@fuesstest ich habe nach #citystrides 70% von Karlsruhe. Meistens bin ich auf der Straße gelaufen weil einfach unglaublich wenig Platz am Gehweg ist und der noch von anderem Gedöns belegt wird. Südstadt bin komplett nur auf der Straße gelaufen.

It has become a tradition I'm going for a run during our LAN party.
At first it was just me, later others have joined. Distance between 6km and 21km to sweat out that alcohol.

Today it was almost 15km and also running some streets for #citystrides
