I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do more of it tonight. My girlfriend thinks it’s dumb and I’m wasting my time because Google maps and Apple maps and Bing maps exists but she just doesn’t understand open source.

Edit: Apologies, I just realized this question is not Linux specific.

    I use organic maps, based on openstreetmap, it has more information than i expected but still much less than google. It’s almost on par with apple maps where I live, both significantly worse than google.

      It can be a fun project to map out the area you live. I’ve been working on that over the past couple years and it is fun.

      Over in Europe, OSM Is much more mapped out in my opinion. It would be good to see North America catch up.
