I'm glad you mentioned StreetComplete, I'm a great fan of it. For those that don't know it's an Open Source Android app that shows OpenStreetmap with pins in showing where information is needed. For example tapping a pin with a bench icon will ask you, 'is this bench still here?' and you just tap yes or no. Then there are more complicated ones like the opening hours of a shop. It's a fantastic way to contribute to OpenStreetmap, and it's a bit of a 'gateway drug' to more advanced editors such as the one on the OpenStreetmap website. For example, I might be entering house numbers on a local street and find that the buildings on the map don't match what's really there, and then I'll go into the editor the OpenStreetmap website to correct the map. The only shortcoming of StreetComplete is that the map isn't refreshed very often, but despite that I highly recommend it.
