sigh if I have to go all in on organic maps I will even though it’s not 100% there. Ads will make me do it

We all need to contribute to open maps in order for then to be actually usable. Some parts don't have any street numbers, and some don't even have street names, much less business info on them.

EDIT: We also should contribute to the open maps lemmy community and help out.

Someone one mentioned some gamified app thing to me where you can input stuff into OM. Something Streets?

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

The app you're thinking of is StreetComplete!

Which reminds me, I should really download it and start contributing to OSM.

That’s it - thanks!

Is it possible to use StreetComplete on iOS?

Unfortunately, no.
