OpenStreetMap surveyor app

Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!

This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.

The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.

    Somewhat shortened translation:

    This mainly refers to jawg.io, the commercial cloud service that serves the basic map. The map itself is 100% OSM data, but the service isn’t free. OSM themselves don’t offer a vector tile server, not even for editors.

    Also, F-Droid gives every app with a hard-coded network dependency the NonFreeNet flag, including e.g. api.openstreetmap.org.

    They’re discussing a new anti-feature like SiloedNet for such cases, because at the moment NonFreeNet is pretty useless, e.g. a Wikipedia reader gets that flag too.
