I live in a relatively high tourist traffic beach town, just outside of a large city (~15 mins) and there was zero accurate POIs when I first moved here a few years back.

I head about some mastodon or twitter page that post rural areas and a bunch of people mob on mapping them.
What they really should do is post towns like mine that are very very busy but are lacking up to date maps
Downloaded it. It’s crazy how its not really that far behind gmaps.
I tried it last night and couldn’t get it to find specific addresses, particularly in rural areas. Any tips you’ve found?
It’s a lot better in cities obviously

I have had trouble with it finding addresses as well. I use Magic Earth for driving because it can actually find most all the locations I search for.
