Happy birthday. What's the easiest way to contribute data to it using my phone? I want to start mapping my city but I really have no idea how to do this. Any google maps style app that asks you questions about your surroundings?
StreetComplete is fun! I was riding the bus the other day, and I opened the StreetComplete app. I noticed that most of the bus stops had incomplete information, so as we rode by I answered questions like "does this bus top have a shelter" for each stop as we went by. It's very easy to use, and I get a feeling of making the world a tiny bit better.
Would be wonderful if something similar exists for iPhone. There seems to be a few apps that are trying to make something in that direction but aren't as polished/nice to use as Street Complete.
Not google maps style questions, but it's quite easy to add POIs using OsmAnd.
You need an OpenStreetMap-account, then long tap on the place, "actions", "Create POI" - enter the name and the type (restaurant, wastebin, whatever...) and save it.
If you're used to it and know the categories it takes maybe 30 seconds to do it everytime you visit a new restaurant or to add a new shop when you're waiting for the bus.
