As European, thatvis not true in my case! (I get funded by them)
Putt-putt, pajama sam a.d freddy fish are great!
Is now a bad time to pitch https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance ?
Bwa, we’ve had worse ;)
It is the abbreviation of OpenStreetMap.org, a crowdsourced map of the world. You’ve 100% sure already used the data of the project, in the form of Organic Maps, OsmAnd, the maps on Facebook, instagram en Whatsapp or Pokemon Go.

Ah, I was talking about desktop. Afaik this is not yet on mobile.
I’m using Fennec BTW
FF local translations is already there in the stable releases. Just update!
For maps: either OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one is a beast but needs to be tamed, the latter one is more user friendly. They are both based on [email protected]
Additionally, you can use https://mapcomplete.org to improve the maps (or the online editor in openstreetmap.org)
Well, best thing to counter that is to be the change you want to see. Start the community for the niche you miss the most/know the most about. Post something daily for two weeks + do a call for mods, and before you know you’ll have at least some activity. I (helped) to bootstrap [email protected] this way, and the community has about 1 top level post per day on average now. Not a lot, but a good start.
Hijacking the thread:
You are all welcome on [email protected] to discuss anyting OpenStreetMap-related
Also have a look to https://mapcomplete.osm.be - this one works on mobile and desktop and has many thematic maps (e.g. one for shops, one for cycling stuff, one for toilets) and you can improve the data there as well + add images.
No. Both package the same OSM-data, but they use a different binary format.
Sorry, but HERE-maps does not use OSM data. They list their sources here: https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms/general-content-supplier-terms-and-notices
Google is supposed not to copy OSM…
Have a look at https://openstreetmap.community/ and https://osmcal.org/
Ooohh!! Please, post a bit in the lemmy community as well.
Hi! Wrong sub? No worries, our subredditcommunity ([email protected]) is right here as well!
Did you also know that Apple Maps and Bing Maps use OSM data too in some areas, for some types of categories? Bing even has cloned an OSM-editing program.
Furthermore, you can use https://mapcomplete.osm.be to add shops or other POI. (Obligatory shill as I’m the main dev of that one ;) )

Cool! I love the concept of Mobilizon, but the user experience has bitten me quite often. Gancio looks really nice!
