been using it for a few days now. searching for an adress by number won’t work very well, and if a parking space is public or not can be inaccurate. as well as most businesses in my area not being in the app at all
but it has potential. they should make it easier to find out how to even contribute at all though. i can’t code, so doing changes via pull requests(?) is out of the question.
maybe the reason why the US has so much worse Openstreetmap data than Europe is because taking a walk and noting down info about your neighbors’ houses will either get you run over or shot)
Don’t be an asshole. The US has its problems but this is not one. There are lots of strangers that do house to house things.
Map data isn’t built by organic maps themselves but is based on the open streets maps project. It’s kinda Wikipedia where anyone can edit any data. This means that anyone can contribute information. You can easily edit from the https://openstreetmap.org website. As others have pointed out, streetcomplete and everydoor are 2 good applications for contributing from an android phone.
Organic maps updates its maps data every month, so it takes a while for contributions to become visible.
