And rember Pokemon Go uses osm for their data so you are making an impact on them too.
If you'd like to be able to search for house addresses in osmand+ you can download these map packs.. A total life saver..
Hmm. I dislike that it uploads every thing as a separate change. I much more prefer editing the whole area and saving it as one neat package, rather than posting hundreds of "this is road is made of asphalt" posts.
So it's not for me, but if that helps to make OSM better, I'm all for it!
Maybe I could make a separate account without neat history and from time to time click some icons in the app though. That probably wouldn't bother me as much.
it doesnt close a changeset after every single change, at least it shouldnt. mmv but if I close the app for some time it bundles my changes in one OSM set
No it doesn't close changeset on every change, 30 days ago I added 123 house numbers in my city with streetcomplete and all of them were in the same changeset.

Yep - been using it for a week or two myself. Nearly 400 points so far!
Does anyone know of OSM street view equivalents like KartaView allow for campus street view? It seems like it's only available for roads you can access with a car.
If you're asking about more imagery coverage, Mapillary has a lot. The wiki has a list of street-level imagery articles.
OpenStreetMap is more about the map database, so any imagery association tends to be loose, and is more for use as a useable source for ground truth.
Wow, cartography is a whole thing I have never really taken a look at. This is super cool, thanks for the share! I don't like that Mapillary is owned by Facebook/Meta :/
I will take a look at the resources you have sent though!
Just downloaded this today and going nuts making contributions in my neighborhood. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Another recommendation, especially for addresses and points of interest, is https://every-door.app/
It's not as pretty as StreetConplete but it's fine to work with.
I've been using Go Map! but it keeps crashing... Maybe I'll try Streetcomplete if it's on apple.
This yes, ever since someone mentioned StreetComplete, I have been using it and love it ! Super easy to contribute. The only thing missing is the ability to add nodes. But that I usually do on a computer/ or using Organic Maps android app.
Very cool, downloaded and will start using It!
I’m still missing this on iOS, we do have “go map!!” Which is great, but that’s a bit of a different kind of app for me.
i use Every Door on ios… its UI is hideous, but very functional
in still pretty new to it all though so it might not be great… better than go map for edits though

Honestly, thanks for your post. It inspired me to actually download the app and i solved a bit of issues around my area today.
It's actually fun and it also helps other people and increase the quality of OSM overall. This could motivate me to also just go for a walk instead of hanging in front of my computer so again: thx for your post <3
