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
Edit: I didn't know about Vespucci, which is a full-featured OSM editor for Android. Thanks, @onyxjet@lemmy.world

Street Complete is amazing! Perfect for people who find going on a walk too boring, like me
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 The roads are good, but the businesses are either missing or outdated.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.
Did not know about Street Complete. Thanks for the recommendation!

United States

Gulf of C.U.M.
you mean of course, to put the US on top, right. #USANumber1
/s of course, if it wasn't obvious
Vespucci is also full editor for android.
There is also Go Map! A primary editor for IOS.
Every door is a mobile editor that allows you to add new things and edit existing ones.
ID is the main OpenStreetMap website editor.
Rapid, essentially just ID but with a special edition of automatic building suggestions and such or what they call mapwithai.
JOSM a full on editor for desktop, does everything ID or Rapid can do and a whole lot more. Its more of an advanced editor.
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! :)
