You can always add more (harder) tasks that are disabled by default. That's what I do for regions where there aren't enough tasks (that I'm interested in)

thank you sir for your hard work

r/place but is really a place in a map

Thank you!

Also like that the iOS app privacy section says:

Data Not Collected The developer does not collect any data from this app

Unfortunately, it’s not available in my country :/

f-droid defines it as

Non-Free Network Services

This Anti-Feature is applied to apps that promote or depend entirely on a Non-Free network service which is impossible, or not easy to replace. Replacement requires changes to the app or service. This antifeature would not apply, if there is a simple configuration option that allows pointing the app to a running instance of an alternative, publicly available, self-hostable, free software server solution.

Here’s the list of apps with Non-Free Network Services.

I asked the developer Tobias Zwick the exact same question. His reply (in german, can anyone summarize it in english?):

gemeint ist damit vor Allem jawg.io, das ist der komerzielle Anbieter/Clouddienst über den die Basiskarte ausgespielt wird. Diese Karte basiert zwar zu 100% auf OpenStreetMap-Daten, aber der Service selbst ist nicht frei. Die OpenStreetMap Foundation bietet selbst keinen Vektor-Kachel-Dienst an, auch nicht für OpenStreetMap Editoren etc.

Zusätzlich dazu würde die App zurzeit auch ohne jawg.io das NonFreeNet-Flag bekommen, aber das liegt vor Allem daran, dass F-Droid zurzeit die Benutzung jeglichen in der App hardkodierten Netzwerkdienst, ob Open Source oder nicht, als NonFreeNet flaggt. Also zum Beispiel auch für die Nutzung von api.openstreetmap.org 🤔

Die F-Droid Leute diskutieren aber (seit langem) darüber, für nicht in der App änderbare Netzwerkdienste ein neues Anti-Feature Flag einführen, soetwas wie SiloedNet oder so, um die Definition von NonFreeNet nicht derart zu verwässern.Denn, ja... zurzeit ist finde ich NonFreeNet ziemlich nichtssagend. Ein Wikipedia-Reader zum Beispiel bekommt den Flag auch.

I thought it was awesome he took the time to answer in such detail and startet support him on liberapay: Tobias Zwick

It's super fun! I learned about this recently. This and geocaching really adds motivation for long walks.

Yeah, it's made more for refining and confirming details than for adding entirely new objects.

When I want to add something that's not on the map yet, I either add a note in StreetComplete and come back to it later on my computer, or I add it using Vespucci. (I've been known to add items using Vespucci, then reload the data on StreetComplete so I can fill in details that aren't in the presets and that I can't remember how to tag manually!)

I add stuff in OSMAnd. But StreetComplete is easier for, err, completing data on what's already there.

I use both versions actively, the main differences of SCEE compared to StreetComplete are the addtion of more obscure questions (for example building and roof colors, species/genus of trees), allowing direct editing of tags and disabling the gamification/statistics.

I have found convenience store within 5 minutes walking distance from my house thanks to StreetComplete. I had solved most of the tasks nearby, so I took a small detour on my way home and found this shop there that I had no idea existed. At that stage I was living in the area for years.

The only thing I want to say is "OpenStreetMap got the FSF award in 2018".

As the same openstreetmap site say it's the wikipedia of maps, run by the community and some corporations like meta, Microsoft and Apple.

And some people, like me, thanks to microg use the data for geocoding and don't rely on google for that.

OpenStreetMap has been going for almost 20 years now. It's a very well known open map data platform. Like Wikipedia, anyone can edit OSM map data, and all of the data is freely available for anyone to use.

Its used by Bing and Apple, so they would for sure piss off some people selling out. That being said I have no clue how its run, God pray it isnt as "open" as openai

Edit: nevermind, heres their license, doesn't look too bad
