      That solves the problem this time, but it doesn’t help if I’m trying to navigate somewhere new.

      If it doesn’t have the address for a 30-year-old house in a major metropolitan area, then I just don’t think it’s a viable replacement for Google Maps, unfortunately.

        I wish OSM had the resources to make something akin to Pokemon Go but instead of capturing something, it adds it to the database.

            Found this thing yesterday. I’ve contributed to OSM more in a day than in the previous year. It’s great.

            Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing

            I’ve kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc… it’s great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn’t looking)

            My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should complain less support more.

              Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.

              Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.
