I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do more of it tonight. My girlfriend thinks it’s dumb and I’m wasting my time because Google maps and Apple maps and Bing maps exists but she just doesn’t understand open source.
Edit: Apologies, I just realized this question is not Linux specific.
you like lemmy? it works because ppl contribute. osm…same! try https://streetcomplete.app and contribute!!!
I downloaded it earlier today and went for a 1hr walk and submitted over 60 contributions. It’s kinda addictive.
I love that you don’t need constant internet connection to use it.
Thanks for the recommendation!
The paranoid Eastern European in me awakes when the app asks for material of power poles, bridge types, and surface firmness of forest tracks… 😬
