Organic Maps, the privacy-focused, open-source alternative to Google Maps, celebrates its 4th anniversary. The project came to life during Christmas week of 202…
I live in a relatively high tourist traffic beach town, just outside of a large city (~15 mins) and there was zero accurate POIs when I first moved here a few years back. I ended up mapping a lot of the high interest areas around here around 6 months or so back on street complete during my walks, but kinda burnt out on it.
I head about some mastodon or twitter page that post rural areas and a bunch of people mob on mapping them.
What they really should do is post towns like mine that are very very busy but are lacking up to date maps
I live in a shithole and had to add most POIs myself, but in tourist areas I’ve been to, the map quality is so good here. Even beach towns where 200-300 people live off season.
I tried it last night and couldn’t get it to find specific addresses, particularly in rural areas. Any tips you’ve found?
It’s a lot better in cities obviously

Weird, wonder why my area was so outdated
