I’m sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I’m tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!

There are no street numbers in osm for my city, Bend, OR. It has a population of 100,000+, so I’m guessing this app is really only useable for major cities.
Install StreetComplete and put some of them in. Spread the word, it’s really low effort.

Low effort and just super fun. I don’t know why but helping out while walking around activates the happy parts in my lizard brain.
Did you report it? Maybe no one noticed yet.
True to some extent. I know there’s been a big effort to get buildings mapped in the US, but it’s not always possible to get house/street numbers from aerial imagery. Once buildings are mapped you can either add the remainder of the details with on the ground mapping (e.g using an app like StreetComplete) or if the data (e.g from the government) becomes open and available to use.
It’s all dependant on the community, if there’s missing data that you can add, please do! StreetComplete is a very acessible way to contribute
I’ve contributed a little, but its a bit discouraging. It’s not like can just map the whole city myself
