I didn't know about Organic Maps so I installed it for the first time. I registered to openstreetmaps and added 5 places. This is great 😸

Also check out StreetComplete! It's an app that gamifies adding information to OSM

Thanks! Added it to Obtanium 😁

It's addicting. I mapped my entire city

Yeah, it's great to help contribute like that, I live in a really small town so the map was quite out of date, so I patched it up. OSM is slowly becoming a legitimate competitor with Google Maps and Apple Maps in terms of data quality and Google is cowering in fear that a libre, ad-free app will be far better than their closed-source, ad-infested, data-selling app.

I'm fed up with Google (& other huge companies) so I'm totally with openstreetmaps! I'll add more info a little by little. Thanks for your contributions!

Welcome aboard! What’s nice is that your changes are implemented quickly.
