For those, who don't know: There is an app called StreetComplete.
StreetComplete is a mobile app that enhances OpenStreetMap (OSM) by allowing users to contribute to mapping efforts in their local areas. It gamifies the process of collecting and verifying geographic data through simple tasks.
Such simple tasks in StreetComplete could be providing information regarding:
-
Classifying streets (one-way or not)?
-
Is an object (e.g. a bench or a trash bin) still there, or was it removed by the city/state?
-
When does shop XY open and close?
-
Who is allowed to use the parking lot?
-
Does a bus station have lights?
-
Can people with disabilities use the crosswalk?
-
Is a way for bicycles?
It's getting warmer outside. Why not going out and playing it bit? It might feel a little bit like Pokemon GO (but compared to it, your location data won't be sold to Saudi Arabia).
If you usually don't go outside often or walk around outside often, maybe this could be a motivation/reason...

If you have already use/played it, what's your rank?
My car died and I'm not currently employed due to disability so I've got nothing better to do than to walk around. I combine Street Complete with Randonautica to find new places to go. I'm running out of places with quests near where I live (Dayton, Ohio), it is causing me to exercise more. https://i.imgur.com/w3F0wtw.png
