it’s funny to me that the US is so fucked in pedestrian mobility that if you look at a map, the roads are not guaranteed to have pavements that you can walk on.
I’m From European and it’s not uncommon here either sadly, especially in the country side (old roads used around agricultural fields and farms for example).
But there is hardly any traffic on these roads so walking there is safe
Is there a great way to contribute from mobile?
OSMAnd is good for adding POIs, Streetcomplete for updating a lot of data
Absolutely! StreetComplete is incredibly easy to use and doesn’t require any knowledge about mapping or the inner workings of OpenStreetMap. At this point, it’s a very polished app with a great UI and many useful features.
Shame it’s not on iOS. I’ve corrected a few things on local maps directly on Google’s platform (hilariously, it keeps rejecting some of them which are clearly visible from the satellite image), but I’ve always wanted to fix up the local OSM map. It’s just really intimidating as someone with only a very surface level understanding of how GIS works.
Apparently they’re working on an iOS version as well:

Oh this is so cool
In addition to StreetComplete I also find Organic Maps great for mapping (in addition to navigation and maps in general of course). If you’re interested in micro-mapping, check out Every Door (on F-Droid).
I enjoy mapping in openstreetmaps. Does that make me weird?
Wow thank you for sharing this. I am in love with this Organic Maps app. Normally loading a map and trying to find find my way in my phone is a chugging along, but somehow this is silky silky smooth.
Probably because it’s not running a profile service and selling my conversation to an ad bidder looking to take me on a marketing journey.
It’s just a map
