Open Street Maps doesn't aggregate review data, only business info. That said, OSM doesn't really encourage automated changes for understandable reasons (vandalism, interest in human validation, etc). It's a tradeoff that makes OSM a lot better in my rural area, but maybe not in an urban area with a lot of business turnover
- virtualritz 4y agoYeah, talk about a chicken-egg problem. If you want people to use OSM-based apps in place of Google/Apple maps you need to provide a way to access/add/edit (and better also import) POI reviews. W/o them average users will not switch because offline navigation via OSM is simply not good enough a reason. Particuarly if you have commercial (but free) stuff like HERE WeGo which does offline navigation better than any OSM-based app I've seen.
