Some time ago I have experienced how Google maps isolate their functionalities from non-logged users. They limit reviews, photos browsing. I use Firefox.
I know it could be old news, but I noticed it just now when they propagated “update” to other places.
I wish so much that I could trust openstreet all the time but when I’m in a crunch and can’t be fucking around with the all not knowing where an address is I have to go to Google or Waze.
I need precise adresses, not areas.
Totally get you, but in the meantime when you’re not in a crunch, you could help improve OSM by updating Places in your Area :D
There is an App called StreetComplete which Kind of gameifies the mapping. You see all the places near you as quests and the you can super easily update a place with one button :) personally think its super fun and it makes OSM better for everyone :D

I’ll try it out for sure, thanks :-)
StreetComplete does not solve the “block of addresses” problem osm has.
I’ll give it a try.
Thanks for sharing this
