@Melatonin @MigratingtoLemmy

Not Organic Maps, that's just the client. The data is OpenStreetMap, more info about imports here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import

Oops, right. New to this, just started using.

@Melatonin No problem 🙂 Organic Maps is a great client for OSM. And doesn't it feel good knowing that by correcting something through Organic Maps you are taking part in a community of 10M users who together created a 2TB xml file map of the whole planet, free for anyone to download? It's one of the miracles of the free libre world.

I just downloaded, the only restaurant listed is a McDonald's like 10 miles away... I got a lot of adding to do 😅

I wish they had some fake points and a competition

Oh... and the Arby's that used to be in the town over is labeled "Honey baked ham"
