Today I found out that it's actually a lot easier to contribute to Open Street Map than I thought. There are some serious gaps in house addresses in my area and I was painstakingly using the built in browser editor in the browser.

But, you can use a FOSS app (available on fdroid) called StreetComplete that makes it a lot easier to help out filling in the gaps in your local map data.

It's really fun - kind of like Pokémon Go but you are actually making an impact 😁

I'm addicted to Streetcomplete. I'm 20.000+ edits in. I make about 100 with ease on my commute to work.

It needs an iOS app

@gonzoknowsdotcom1 This app doesn't seem quite as entertaining as #StreetComplete, but it is also available for #iOS: #EveryDoor
"#OpenStreetMap editor for POIs and entrances."
every-door.app/
Furthermore, it is also very easy to edit #OSM data with #OrganicMaps: organicmaps.app/de/

@caos @Schlemmy @gonzoknowsdotcom1 #EveryDoor is great, I use it alongside #StreetComplete as it has more attributes that can be set. First StreetComplete until no tasks are left, then EveryDoor for more details.
