OSM

I've been contributing a lot to OSM for my local area, and have added a couple dozen businesses, and updated a dozen more. It's pretty easy, and I've really been liking OrganicMaps on mobile for directions and whatnot.

For others: if OSM kinda sucks in your area, you're not SOL, you can add whatever it is you're missing. It's easy and IMO pretty fun. Give it a try!

The downside is it's often out of date with business hours, or ones that have moved or closed down, and new businesses are usually missing.

I try and edit stuff when I can but it's such a complex process that requires reading the wiki and a bunch of forum threads to 'do it right'.

If they had a quick and easy editor that was more streamlined and did not allow you to do things incorrectly, then it would be a lot easier.

Is it possible to edit specific existing business info with streetcomplete? When I use it just pops up some random items to do.

[–] possiblylinux127 4 points 2 months ago

You can choose what to do

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can. It just show you everything that need additional info. You can just choose to move the map to the shop you want to edit hours and do that. You can also filter the StreetComplete missions in the settings if you want to only update business hours and description.

Ooh ok, I'll play around with it some more.

Huh? OSM is not a maps app. And this is completely unrelated to browser and OS support. OSM is a maps repository.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

You can browse the maps of the "repository" via openstreetmap.org in your browser. There are multiple apps using the "repository", like Gnome Maps for Linux or OsmAnd on Android.... And many other apps: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop

What exactly is the problem?
