Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!

This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.

The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.

this app showed me how much i don't know from my neighbourhood. It's really fun.

it even allows you to put notes on things the app doesn't give you an edit choice by default. I let someone know a street name was outdated that way.

It's super fun! I learned about this recently. This and geocaching really adds motivation for long walks.

even the mundane is enjoyable, today i went grocery shopping and just added the schedules of the stores I went in.
