  • The main website is not really meant for end users but rather as a tool for contributors; there are several other search engines and apps out there which perform petter on several respects.

  • It really depends on your scenario. In some African countries, access to both laptops and internet is rare; but phones are ubiquitous. Vespucci really shines there, even if it less user friendly then say iD (which is not useable in such a scenario)

  • As developer of https://mapcomplete.org/ - I cannot allow contributors to edit geometries. If I did, I'd have to show all geometries in the vinicinity, which would make it way more confusing for a non-technical user.

    Even then, geometry cannot always be exactly determined (e.g. shops in a mall). And some communities even agree to never use geometries for some types of POI!

  • Ohhh, you did setup your own Panoramax? That's cool :) Do the devs know that? There aren't many instances out there yet.

  • Shameless plug for https://mapcomplete.org/ which makes it easy to see and contribute to OpenStreetMap. It has a bunch of maps per topic, making it easy to see what is interesting to you. It also guides (new) contributors, making it very hard to make mistakes.

  • My 2 cents: they buy this data from TomTom. But I'm speculating here

  • In Belgium, we consider it redundant and remove them, as the boundaries are completed

  • https://mapcomplete.org/ has reviews in some maps (such as the food map); but there are not a lot of reviews as of now. So, go out and review ;)

  • Oh, yeah, no it isn't open data. This type of data is very hard to build in an open data way: people don't like to contribute privatey data and they will only use such a system if it is big enough...

  • No, definitively not it. It shows the sphere and even some city names, but just no background map:

    It rather is that Mapbox doesn't trus my browser and gives me a "forbidden":

    Guess firefox isn't corporate enough for them!
