> you should consider switching from... Google Maps to OpenStreetMap
I've looked into it, but there is very, very little in OpenStreetMap in my area. And I do not have the time, resources, or expertise to map out my entire area enough to make it useful myself. I would like to contribute to the project, but switching over entirely just isn't an option for me.
- habi 6y agoI wonder where you live, do you mind sharing the region? (I have the privilege to live in central Europe, where OSM is actually chock-full of information.)
- thayne 6y agoI live in the rocky mountains area of the USA.
- habi 6y agoI'm genuinely interested, but when I zoom in to a 'random' town in the Rockies I see this - on OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/40.3730/-105.5230 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/40.3730/-105.5230 (or https://www.qwant.com/maps/noresult#map=16.00/40.3730000/-105.5230000 https://www.qwant.com/maps/noresult#map=16.00/40.3730000/-10...) - on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3730,-105.5230,16z https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3730,-105.5230,16z Seems mapped quite good to me. You might find some time to contribute a bit to make OSM even better, all users profit, not only Google :)
