Help break the US hold on map data (streetcomplete.app)

Currently there's only 3 big players when it comes to maps. You've got Google, Apple and Microsoft.

Let's try to make OpenStreetMap the best map there is. Go grab StreetComplete and start mapping your surroundings when you're out and about.

All the data is under a public license and managed by a non-profit foundation in the UK.

It's very easy to get started, and quite addictive.

What about an app for iOS?

Seems it's being worked on, but not done.

You can make changes using Organic Maps. It’s also a very good app in general imo. It’s open source, gives you OSM maps offline and has decent navigation. I have switched to it almost fully (from Google and Apple Maps) a while ago already.
