So, are we putting together openstreetmap group excursions this summer or what.

Apple confirms that its Maps app will begin showing ads to users "this summer"

Apple Maps ads will look and work a bit like current App Store ads do.

@mayintoronto @mhoye https://streetcomplete.app and https://mapcomplete.org are very easy ways to start.

@yoasif Oh, these are neat, thank you!
MapComplete doesn’t highlight missing info the way StreetComplete does, does it? I’m on iOS so I can’t use the latter.

@Cykelero I honestly haven't used MapComplete much (since I am on Android).

You can probably beg or borrow an Android device that will easily run StreetComplete - you can download areas before you head out and submit your changes once you are back.
