Maybe checkout https://yosmhm.neis-one.org and http://hdyc.neis-one.org/ for cool maps. The first one is a heatmap of all your changes.

NextCloud has a PhoneTrack plugin

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

Well, I'm doing my best to get the !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml community started. Once there is enough activity here, the critical mass becomes self-reinforcing and it takes off.

And it's not as if all of Reddit will switch over right away - Twitter is still somewhat alive too; but Mastodon gained enough momentum now to actually matter and to be at a sustainable level.

Try OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one has many features but is less user friendly.

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

Google is supposed not to copy OSM...

Ooohh!! Please, post a bit in the lemmy community as well.

Hi! Wrong sub? No worries, our ~~subreddit~~community (!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 ;) )

Cool!

Similarly I think projects with the data, such as renderings should have a place here, within reason.

Having some nice maps here? Sound like a plan, as long as they are (partially) OSM-based ;)

Discussion of OSM related news, such as WeeklyOSM.

I did ping them to automatically post here as well

Long time redditor, first time lemmyng: coming from feddit, is it unusual that my abonnement is still shown as pending? Posts do appear in my feddit-feed.

Well, we don't have a lot of Lemmy-experience too... I guess that the federation still has to take place? I assume this is a technicality and it'll resolve eventually.
