You can and you should contribute - Open Street Map (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Today I found out that it's actually a lot easier to contribute to Open Street Map than I thought. There are some serious gaps in house addresses in my area and I was painstakingly using the built in browser editor in the browser.

But, you can use a FOSS app (available on fdroid) called StreetComplete that makes it a lot easier to help out filling in the gaps in your local map data.

It's really fun - kind of like Pokémon Go but you are actually making an impact 😁

I’m still missing this on iOS, we do have “go map!!” Which is great, but that’s a bit of a different kind of app for me.

i use Every Door on ios… its UI is hideous, but very functional

in still pretty new to it all though so it might not be great… better than go map for edits though

Go map keeps crashing for me, does it for you?
