Good God, I've wanted this for the Bay Area for years. How can I help make that happen?

EDIT: oh, it's not just NYC-specific, it's possible to add locations elsewhere. Awesome - I've bookmarked it, and will start contributing next time I'm out-and-about!

For example, San Francisco also already has many cafés listed with internet access on OpenStreetMap: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1BeS
Just added to this map! If enough Bay Area cafes (more than 5) get added to this map, I'll change the title to 'NYC + Bay Area Trigood Cafe' ;D

Reply to Edit: Yeahhhhhh

You can’t change titles on HM, @dang or another moderator has to manually intervene.
I expect very simply! Looks like you could add locations anywhere in the world to the 'NYC' map should you really want. It'd be up to OP to split that up into different cities.

Personally, I feel just having it be global and allowing people to zoom in is best.

for sure, technically you can click the zoom out button on top right of the map to view the entire map. I'll let people to create their own maps in the future if there's enough interest.
