minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•6 days agoOn the flip side, living in a place Google doesn’t index properly, I’ve found adding stuff to OSM to be infinitely easier than adding/correcting things on Google Maps. Google just has the advantage of already having 99% of stuff on it

minus-squareFoxlinkfedilinkEnglish8•6 days agoIf you find contributing to OSM a chore, you might wanna look into “StreetComplete”. They have managed to “gamify” contributing to the database. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ It’s also available on PlayStore.
