YSK: StreetComplete app for Android, a way to fill map data in a game like way
You fill out "quests" like if sidewalks have tactile ramps (for accessibility), what type of roads, road size, store hours, if bus stops are illuminated or have a shelter, bike spots, etc.
It's been a few days and I'm addicted. And it's a good way to contribute to OpenStreets and reduce supporting commercial map tools like Google Maps/Apple Maps.
I learned about it during a No Stupid Questions post about mobile games that reward you for walking.
I'm still relatively new and on the Global Leaderboard, ranked 1000 out of 5000.
Glad you're enjoying it! I've been having a lot of fun with it too - even if my wife sometimes thinks I'm crazy when I "just quickly run over here" to check the hours for this place, haha.
My "Global Rank" is a bit over 5000, but I'm not sure if that's the same number as you're looking at, given the range. 400th in Canada, though!
I enjoy it, too. Because of the granular data (e.g. what's this road made of?), it's got me thinking a lot more about my community, instead of just taking everything for granted.
Same! I now actively noticed when a street doesn't have specific accessibility needs. I even went, "This bus stop has a bench AND a trash can? What a treat for riders!"
