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.
Every time I move to a new area this is one of things I do. Outside of Google, a lot of the other maps start with open street maps as their data set as it’s an excellent jumping off point. So you’re not just helping open street maps You’re helping most map applications.
