We all need to contribute to open maps in order for then to be actually usable. Some parts don’t have any street numbers, and some don’t even have street names, much less business info on them.
EDIT: We also should contribute to the open maps lemmy community and help out.
Organic maps is awesome! I wish it was faster, it’s currently too slow for car navigation(for me)! I’ve been using OsmAnd, the UI isn’t the greatest but it’s fast enough for car navigation and is prob the most useable osm based map apps available
sigh if I have to go all in on organic maps I will even though it’s not 100% there. Ads will make me do it

Someone one mentioned some gamified app thing to me where you can input stuff into OM. Something Streets?
The app you’re thinking of is StreetComplete!
Which reminds me, I should really download it and start contributing to OSM.
That’s it - thanks!

I love Osmand, but for car navigation Magic Earth is far better imho. Also its routing algorithm is the best I’ve ever used. Not open source though.
Magic Earth looks cool, I’ll have to give it a try! I’ll prob stick with OsmAnd since it’s open source and I can help improve it and Osm over time
