Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour - Lemmy.World

Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.

Is there any way I can help contribute public transport information to OSM? It's the one thing that Google maps does that I can't replace.

Yes! wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport though it is a bit complex to fully add routes, adding stops is super easy!

If public transport mapping is your goal, it might make sense to try out the MapComplete Train Station mapcomplete.org/stations? and Bus Routes mapcomplete.org/transit? themes which give an easier, more focused, mapping interface. Quest apps like Street Complete can also make getting into OSM a bit easier, though OSM Beginners Guise is great too. wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners'_guide

OSM doesn’t really track live and exact public transport schedules (you can define static routes and say which interval the tram/whatever comes but that’s about it). Organic Maps is working on implementing live data: github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/5331
