I use maps for navigation (mostly OsmAnd) and improve OpenStreetMap with my self-made website (https://mapcomplete.org)
!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml - but that’s also because I helped to get it going during the first reddit-waves ;)
Well, in a way, they do provide accurate geolocalisation for indoor environments based on wifi networks. And it is right that having internet/bluethooth access also (more or less) reveals your location; but that doesn’t make it ethical.
Yes. I’m mostly developing a website, and testing on another browser is necessary every now and then. But that is my only use reason.
My main browser used to be firefox till tw9 weeks qgo, but it started to be buggy so it’s LibreWolf now.
There is a (somewhat) active community here too: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
You can also try the webapp https://mapcomplete.org
For maps: either OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one is a beast but needs to be tamed, the latter one is more user friendly. They are both based on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Additionally, you can use https://mapcomplete.org to improve the maps (or the online editor in openstreetmap.org)
Some shameless advertising: there is an OpenStreetMap-community on lemmy: !openstreema0@lemmy.ml
Shoutout: we have a community here to on lemmy: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Well, best thing to counter that is to be the change you want to see. Start the community for the niche you miss the most/know the most about. Post something daily for two weeks + do a call for mods, and before you know you’ll have at least some activity. I (helped) to bootstrap !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml this way, and the community has about 1 top level post per day on average now. Not a lot, but a good start.
No. Both package the same OSM-data, but they use a different binary format.
Look for a local hackerspace, they might have the right connections. Most of them have regular (often weekly) ‘social nights’ where you can hang out.
Https://Mapcomplete.osm.be/hackerspaces has an (incomplete) listing
Sorry, but HERE-maps does not use OSM data. They list their sources here: https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms/general-content-supplier-terms-and-notices
Ooohh!! Please, post a bit in the lemmy community as well.
Hi! Wrong sub? No worries, our subredditcommunity (!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml) is right here as well!
Did you also know that Apple Maps and Bing Maps use OSM data too in some areas, for some types of categories? Bing even has cloned an OSM-editing program.
Furthermore, you can use https://mapcomplete.osm.be to add shops or other POI. (Obligatory shill as I’m the main dev of that one ;) )
