The map is still far from complete in my part of the world, so I can't really switch.

- dublinben 13y agoHave you contributed to make the map better?
- gchokov 13y agoYes I did :)
- yellowbkpk 13y agoWhere are you? Let's make it better for you.
- gchokov 13y agoVery nice of you. Here I am - http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/42.0331/24.3015 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/42.0331/24.3015
- yellowbkpk 13y agoHmm. You've found one of OSM's many achille's heels. You're in a part of the world that doesn't have very good satellite imagery coverage, so the only way we can map is using recorded GPS data. You can help by wandering around with your smartphone's GPS turned on and uploading the traces to OSM.org for others to map with.
- gchokov 13y agoI will certainly do it. Thanks for the tip!
- ithkuil 13y agoIt's funny, for Ireland I found it far more complete than Google Maps.
- GFischer 13y agoSame here, for Uruguay, especially Montevideo, it's far better than Google Maps, and it has house numbers which Google doesn't. I think it's because the local government is contributing to OSM (or they got somebody to upload some government data).
