TIL you can help #OpenStreetMap while you are walking around.

No more wandering aimlessly around. Now every step is a big f you to surveillance capitalism.

At least if you have an Android phone.

Small tasks and questions to keep the map updated.

Be the change.

@ulfi i liked the gamification look of the app.
It looks easy and fun.

But I wouldn’t know, as I have an iPhone 😭

Yes, but at least there is CoMaps available.😉

OK, without the gasification look.

@ulfi I just checked out CoMaps on iOS - looks very similar to Organic Maps which I’ve used a bit. Basically the same app? @Piraya

@Piraya It doesn't have the gamification look and is less polished (user friendly) but if you want an app for iPhone to easily edit OSM when out walking, I can also recommend @everydoor

Actually if you're already familiar with OSM tagging I think it's probably more useful for adding new POIs than SC and can also be used for updating some existing ones (especially shops)

@Piraya @ulfi just tried it. Can confirm it is easy and fun 🙂. Thanks for the tip!

@Piraya They are working on iOS version of StreetComplete but it is not ready yet https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421
iOS - Planning · Issue #5421 · streetcomplete/StreetComplete

This ticket is something like the master ticket to coordinate development on an iOS port of StreetComplete. It replaces #1892 which also included a lot of discussion and research / observation work...
