StreetComplete: A fun way to contribute to OpenStreetMap (lemmy.ml)

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 :)

Used it quite well that I think the local area has mostly dried up on quests. Contributing more either requires being a passenger, or being in another area.

But I also like the feature of it recommending other apps that can be used as well, giving more ways to contribute or use the maps.
