StreetComplete makes contributing to OpenStreetMap easy and fun by turning contributions into "quests" on a map for you to complete. No personal information is required, just create an OpenStreetMap account, and start contributing directly in your area!

I tried this out myself, and it is truly fantastic! I had never heard of it, and I'm sure many of you haven't either, so spread the word!

Tip: When entering buildings to ask questions (opening hours, etc.) be ready to explain what OpenStreetMap is :)

It was cool for a while but my area is mostly done, even with expanded quests it was basically "what is the road surface here" and "what kind of power pole is this" exclusively

I also very much hate the incredibly limited areas you're allowed to download, a 2x2 city block area size limit made me babe to download like 8 map sections desperately for the rural area I live in, and that's JUST for the housing part. If I want to include the nearby lake and part it'll be like 3pl0 more
