I mean, that was the same with paper maps only a couple decades ago. Buildings are supposed to have prominent street numbers for a reason.

Also, anyone can contribute! I find the app "StreetComplete" to be really helpful for seeing what needs to be added whereever I go.

I agree that paper maps were the same, but we are obviously beyond that now. I am thinking that I am going to start contributing, eventually most of my local addresses and stores I commonly visit will be built up!

StreetComplete is actually heaps of fun. Pic4Review is another great one for contributing.
