Isn't that your problem? Get to it!

Using the OSM's online mapping tool is fun. I really enjoyed doing the maps for around my home - it made me look up streets I'd never noticed. I felt I learned a lot about my local area.

Apparently there is an Android app[1] that will let you upload gps tracks and do other editing. I haven't really played with it yet, but I'm also in Atlanta so if OSM is really that bad here I might start helping.

That's awesome aeroevan. This is the whole reason I wrote the post - to encourage others to dive in and start contributing, be it on data gathering and/or on the technology side. The community is great and technically geo is a very interesting space. Please dive in.

I am sure that his customers will love being told, "Just go finish the map and then our product will work well in your area!"
