OpenStreetMap Is Turning 20

Re:OpenStreetMap Is Turning 20 by smusamashah on Sunday August 11, 2024 @08:09AM (#41215621)

Is there a good UI for OpenStreetMap which is as good as Google Maps? I really want to contribute to OSM but the UI is not as simple as Google Maps. I do keep putting things on Google Maps but i have started to feel guilty about it.

StreetComplete is a really easy way to start contributing!

Best (simplest) options for contribution are:

- StreetComplete - gamification of adding missing properties for existing objects. Consider it as most basic and limited

- https://every-door.app/ - the best option to update and add amenities (shops, restaurants, etc) on the go.

- iD browser editor available at https://www.openstreetmap.org/ - you will need at least this complexity to add objects with geometry (linear or area)

I have both of these. Street complete is not for day to day use. That means I won't open it in time of need and find a chance to add something.

Every door is a better one but still not as simple as Google Maps. I do believe we need an OSM wrapper which has as simple UI as Google maps.
