OSM probably has a much larger community of editors. Both in absolute numbers and as a share of the users.
Because OSM is a community project, editors are more likely to feel responsible for map quality. On Map Maker, users also have limited possibilities once they find problems. I once tried to undo a malicious edit, and as far as I can remember my only options were to comment on it, and to "report a problem".
- Fogest 11y agoDo you have a stat for this? Map maker seems much more know and to have a rather large community based on the Google product page. If anything I'd think the community is much larger for the Google project than it is for OSM.
- andor 11y agoI was guessing. The only user number I can find for Map Maker is 25000 in 2013, but there's no reference and it's not clear how many of those are active. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/google-map-maker-vs-openstreetmap-id-editor/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/google-map-maker-vs-o... OSM currently has 1% active and 2 million registered users: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats So at least in relative numbers, OSM should have more contributors.
