I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do more of it tonight. My girlfriend thinks it’s dumb and I’m wasting my time because Google maps and Apple maps and Bing maps exists but she just doesn’t understand open source.

Edit: Apologies, I just realized this question is not Linux specific.

    I contribute where I can, nothing significant.

    However, nothing beats Apple maps IMO. I have an iPhone which I hotspot data to and basically only use it as a GPS when driving. I can’t use my Android device as I prefer using Apple CarPlay and GrapheneOS does not support Android Auto.

    I use Magic Earth or OSMand when I don’t have my iPhone with me.

    I can only wish the Big Tech maps could use OSM as a standard protocol, with sharing live traffic data, hazards, etc, between map apps. It would be for the greater good and would make using an open source alternative a lot more useful…
