There's no such thing as "fully mapped out". Just open StreetComplete. If there are no tasks left, go ahead and map all the individual trees, or benches, or yield/stop signs, or all the buildings so that they appear good-looking on a 3d render.
Don't forget building height! That is also often missing and has a big effect on 3d renders.
Yep, although I think StreetComplete does at least ask "how many levels in a building", which allows for pretty good approximations most of the time
@balsoft I think this quest is disabled by default these days and has to be re-enabled in the settings.
