minus-squaredrwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前Apple maps are better then google maps I found for UX. Sadly OSM based solutions (I do like organic maps) are often just far too lacking.
minus-squareOmega@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 年前organic maps is solid but needs traction, adding stuff to OSM by yourself is a bit difficult
minus-squareFox@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 年前If you find contributing to OSM a chore, you might wanna look into “StreetComplete”. They have managed to “gamify” contributing to the database. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ It’s also available on PlayStore.
minus-squareRvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 年前On the flip side, living in a place Google doesn’t index properly, I’ve found adding stuff to OSM to be infinitely easier than adding/correcting things on Google Maps. Google just has the advantage of already having 99% of stuff on it
minus-squareOmega@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Yeah, adding stuff to Google is actually a worse experience than OSM, haha
minus-squaredrwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前yeah the main issue is a lot of times if you know where stuff is, you don’t need to use it. so its a bit less then convenient. I wish there were tools that when you searched a place you could import into oom, but then, that would be a violation.
