That really depends what you plan to use where. Roads and foot navigation is generally quite good, POIs is good to use in large cities. Where do you see OSM data lacking?

This is because no-one mapped the outline of the `building=construction` yet. You can do so if you know more, go to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/592118388 and click the 'Edit' button. The currently avail

I'm on iOS, so cannot test StreetComplete, as it's Android-only. I just know that a lot of people use it, but didn't know that it can only do quests. Every Door has a very good UI for editing `opening_hours` in my opinion,

OpenStreetMap has high enough usage that vandals enter incorrect data [0]. But such vandalism is generally corrected very quickly. [0]: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vandalism

The current default layer [1] has a short 'turnaround' time, meaning that changed tiles are quickly rendered, giving very short feedback time. The Tracestrack Topo is provided by a third party, without explicitly stated re-renderi

This can be nicely achieved with https://manubot.org , which produces a manuscript (a (possibly freely accessible) HTML, a PDF and a DOCX file) from a set of git-tracked Markdown files.

I meant the (free) low-zoom vs. (paid) high-zoom tiles. Can you tell us a bit about your rendering pipeline?

And the low-res ones? Are you just loading them from ` https://tile.openstreetmap.org/${z}/${x}/${y}.png `?

Also, the AppStore description mentions "Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/std... ", which should probably link to another place, i.e. to your site.

"Legal" in the bottom left links to Apples servers and does not show the necessary attribution to OSM data, based on https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright Could you correct this?
