Currently there’s only 3 big players when it comes to maps. You’ve got Google, Apple and Microsoft.

Let’s try to make OpenStreetMap the best map there is. Go grab StreetComplete and start mapping your surroundings when you’re out and about.

All the data is under a public license and managed by a non-profit foundation in the UK.

It’s very easy to get started, and quite addictive.

    They have a team of employees working on the app and the hosting of servers to package the data in downloadable files also costs money. So consider donating if you don’t want to use the Play version.
