Hyperactive OSM contributor. I live in Brussels and I am happy to be part of our great OpenStreetMap BE community.

My typical contributions on the map (as of August 2026):

🚇️ Public transport in Brussels: all metro and pre-metro stations are on the map, with entrances, platforms and stairs and current work is about improving routing inside stations or adding even more details; STIB/MIVB network is complete, and so is the Waterbus; current activities include surveying railway stations to improve routing.

🏠️ Review of addresses and building outlines in Brussels, with the purpose of getting all the official addresses on the map, and identifying errors in government data. This implies surveys to accurately locate doors wherever possible.

👮‍♂️ Hunting for tagging mistakes: I monitor recent changes on the map and warn fellow mappers about possible mistakes. Offering help too. (Because there is a high number of contributions to review every day, I will usually go straight to the point in changeset comments; apologies if short messages may occasionally sound a little abrupt; I am not trying to quarrel with anyone, I just want to make sure our map has the best possible data.)

📍 Some armchair work based on high-resolution aerial imagery, for instance to improve pedestrian routing, add relevant urban objects (crossings, traffic signals, benches, waste baskets, trees and much more).

🚶 Mapping footways and cycleways in areas with which I am familiar. Occasionally, shops, amenities, parks and more.

I maintain a handbook for new contributors (latest version: 2026-07-11).
If you map in Brussels, you may also want to have a look at this handbook for addresses on buildings and POI (latest version: 2026-08-02).
