Registered in 2018 for reasons I can't remember but didn't do much. Then about 2 weeks ago someone told me about StreetComplete and I haven't been able to stop contributing since.
Are there other such good apps that can assist in contributing to OSM?
StreetComplete is by far the most accessible way to get into OSM, in my opinion. It's like a gateway drug, because eventually you find something missing that you can't add with StreetComplete and then you begrudgingly open iD on your computer, find out how easy it is, and the rest is history.
Checkout https://mapcomplete.org as well
Are these the organization members? or was this just a meetup of OSM enthusiasts?
@Synnr looks like photos from State of the Map conferences.
Thanks. So likely also a lot of people that just like and use the app/idea/whatever; not people who directly contribute to it? I'm just curious because I tried to use it to replace Waze a couple years back and it was pretty buggy. I'm curious if they brought more people on... to be honest I don't even know enough about it but I assume it's a non-profit organization. or is it just FOSS?
I use OsmAnd+ for off-road travel navigation. The amount of trails and accuracy of navigation is so good!
Organic Maps is really underrated IMHO. I use it a lot for walking around town as well as on hikes.
To err is human. Try to notice missing points of interest and add notes for things you'd like to have added to the map.
FYI: OsmAnd+ has the ability to record GPX tracks and upload them to OSM. This is incredibly useful for creating accurate maps and add just satellite imagery offsets. As a mapper, it would really if a hiking trail has some GPS data so that the nodes can be aligned and improve the accuracy of the map.
