I can’t open it, but here it’s the opposite :( OSM used to be amazing, better than google, now it’s horribly outdated. It shows several stores in my street that have closed over 6 years ago.
I actually found StreetComplete a few days ago and have started fixing issues, at least for my neighborhood.
- pwg 4y ago> now it’s horribly outdated. It shows several stores in my street that have closed over 6 years ago OSM is mostly volunteers, and if no one has happened by on your street in the last 6 years, then no one has noticed to update the map. > I actually found StreetComplete a few days ago and have started fixing issues, at least for my neighborhood. This is the expected outcome, locals fixing local issues. Given a sufficient amount of that, and you have a better map than googles offering. Of course, as you discovered, if no one is around to make the fixes, the data also goes stale.
- Varyag 4y agoCool. you're being the change you wish to see in the world :)
- beej71 4y agoWell done on fixing those issues. I've been updating stores in my area, too. And OSM is the only map that shows the new roundabouts near my house. I just put them in yesterday after riding my bicycle around them several times to get a track. We are OSM! If it has shortcomings, we've no one to blame but ourselves.
