What impressed me most about StreetComplete was when I needed to add a feature. First time I used the app, no idea how to add some particular thing I saw walking around. So I added a freeform note for that spot, explaining what was there, and added a picture.
Within an hour an experienced OpenStreepmap volunteer had handled the note and added the right map feature.
That is never going to happen with Google Maps.
- nicbou 5y agoYes, I had the same experience. Now I contribute some changes, but still call experts when I don't know what I'm doing. OSM is an incredibly cool project with great maintainers.
- aendruk 5y agoI keep an eye on the RSS feed of new notes in my neighborhood. Responding to these is fun and satisfying.
- mattbk1 5y agoCool! I found an example of a local feed here: https://help.openstreetmap.org/answer_link/25796/ https://help.openstreetmap.org/answer_link/25796/
