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 😁

      Indeed it isn’t. But is privacy focused and sort of the best next thing.

        Yeah, I was just pointing it out for transparency, as this is the OSS community. Still a noteworthy app, though.
