All of you are invited on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Also checkout the many editing tools, such as https://mapcomplete.org, https://streetcomplete.app,…
Is now a bad time to pitch https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance ?
Bwa, we’ve had worse ;)
It is the abbreviation of OpenStreetMap.org, a crowdsourced map of the world. You’ve 100% sure already used the data of the project, in the form of Organic Maps, OsmAnd, the maps on Facebook, instagram en Whatsapp or Pokemon Go.
Also checkout !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
For maps: either OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one is a beast but needs to be tamed, the latter one is more user friendly. They are both based on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Additionally, you can use https://mapcomplete.org to improve the maps (or the online editor in openstreetmap.org)
Hijacking the thread:
You are all welcome on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml to discuss anyting OpenStreetMap-related
Also have a look to https://mapcomplete.osm.be - this one works on mobile and desktop and has many thematic maps (e.g. one for shops, one for cycling stuff, one for toilets) and you can improve the data there as well + add images.
