Hijacking this to plug contributing to OSM. Improving your local area is very rewarding and can pair well with some youtube binging. Take a look at your city and see if there are things you're interested in working on.
Except when it is frustrating and continually tries to send you through tiny "technically paved" service roads so you know anyone unfamiliar to the area would risk car damage because there is no way to mark a road as "low priority" or "only use if you live on that road".
Street complete is very awesome though! Especially for updating local businesses.
Does Google maps allow that? Does any map program?
That's especially fun for those of us on motorcycles. I found a particularly horrible road to ride a sport touring bike on several years ago and would have loved this feature on osm.
I am using Magic Earth for navigation. Any recommended companion iOS apps for contributing to OSM?
