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.

    I discovered the app a few weeks ago and man, am I thrilled. I totally grinded it out too. Above all, I find the function for measuring the width of the street very elegant

    this app showed me how much i don’t know from my neighbourhood. It’s really fun.

    it even allows you to put notes on things the app doesn’t give you an edit choice by default. I let someone know a street name was outdated that way.

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

    Thanks for sharing! This should be fun to contribute to while riding my electric unicycle.

    SCEE is described as StreetComplete for advanced users. Does anyone have experience with this?

      It’s exactly as it says. SCEE comes without handholding which means should know what you do.

      It’s better to follow a guide on mapping and osm in general and after that you can use it without holding back.

      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.

    Hijacking the thread:

    You are all welcome on [email protected] to discuss anyting OpenStreetMap-related

    Also have a look to https://mapcomplete.osm.be - this one works on mobile and desktop and has many thematic maps (e.g. one for shops, one for cycling stuff, one for toilets) and you can improve the data there as well + add images.
