> except for geocoding heh. that's a different thing anyway and google's solution was to just pay people to drive around and collect house numbers which no one is probably going to volunteer for. theres the mozilla stumbler app that collects wifi ap's but I think the firefox app also collects the same thing unless you opt out. then there is opencellid as well. i drove every road in my area capturing photos using mapillary with the end goal to use them to improve openstreetmap. i had the above apps running the whole time because why not. I'm sure other mappers do the same but if not I'm sure it would be easy enough to find a few people in most areas that would be willing to contribute
