    Had to check.

    Slowly working towards a viable OpenStreetMap in my area. If you want to help, you can make a free account and begin editing: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new

    You can also contribute on mobile by using Street Complete or any number of great mobile apps that allow limited editing and full map features like Organic Maps

      Did the same in my area. The roads are good, but the businesses are either missing or outdated. I probably added 100 over the last few months.

      It’s kinds fun! When I go out, I check OM and see what’s missing, take some pictures, and then go edit a bunch of stuff that night. It doesn’t take long, and I feel like it’s worth my time.

      Recently began contributing to OpenStreetMap. Information on my place is quite outdated, lots of work to do!

      Thanks for providing that link. I knew about OSM, but didn’t fully grasp that (duh) it’s open which means I can help with the data. Time to get busy! :)

      Street Complete is amazing! Perfect for people who find going on a walk too boring, like me
