It hasn't been a week since I met OSM and Osmand. And I created all the beaches in a city from scratch. I added the important points in detail with their labels. I took long walks and it was fun.

Why would it be a plot twist, it's called armchair mapping, and the most common way of mapping
I have some random spots in the world where I draw buildings and paths regularly. I have no irl connection with them, I just randomly zoomed there once and bookmarked it. There is something relaxing, zen like feeling when you just trace houses and paths. Never intend to go there, but it's nice to create something. Maybe one day a guy will wonder who the hell draw his village in South Kongo, and why is it much more detailed than the regional capital
There are no beaches in Denver
There are 4 beaches mapped in Denver: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1OEQ
