Are your favourite #shops, #restaurants, #bars, or other #businesses still not present on openstreetmap?

You can add them yourself, or perhaps even better, (also) send them a message to let them know that they are lagging behind and that the world is bigger than the Googlosphere.

ANY European #marketing or communications agency that invests significant effort into their clients’ (or worse, their own) presence on #GoogleMaps, without even informing them about #OpenStreetMap, cannot be taken seriously any longer.

#BuyEuropean, be present on #European maps. 🇪🇺💪

For all the people who DO have the courage to #deGoogle: check buy-european.net/en/alternati... or european-alternatives.eu for a lot of great European alternatives 🇪🇺💪

E.g. try www.magicearth.com, www.comaps.app, or mapy.com instead of #GoogleMaps.

Don’t want to be dependent on US BigTech maps? #OpenStreetMap is a community based map. Great in many regions, other regions undermapped, like #KerryCounty, #Tralee.

😳 was mij ook niet bekend. Even nader nagezocht, maker is Ilya Zverev, wonend/werkend in Estland (geen idee waarom weg uit ru), openstreetmap ontwikkelaar sinds 2010, source code inzichtelijk via github, .ru server schijnt van hemzelf te zijn. Mss geen directe ‘no go’ maar bezwaar begrijpelijk
Zo te zien wel. Er zullen vast hele fijne Russen bezig zijn met Open Source, maar ik kan niet beoordelen waar de data die je zo verzamelt terechtkomt. Voor hetzelfde geld loop je op straatniveau NL in kaart te brengen voor de FSB.

Probably easiest way to improve quality & usability of #OpenStreetMap based maps and #navigation apps is by updating current status, website, (and opening hours) of frequently searched points of interest (POIs) like #restaurants & shops.
For example with every-door.app for iOS or Android.
#osm

There’s a lot of great apps to update specific information on #openstreetmap.
And basically everything can be updated through the iD editor on www.openstreetmap.org.
However, the most efficient and fast way to do more in less time, is the dedicated #JOSM software:

A great way YOU can contribute to improving the usability of #OpenStreetMap based maps and #navigation apps is by taking and adding photos of POIs.
For example via MapComplete.org (adds them to #Panoramax AND links them to #OSM).
In addition, you can also add them to navigation apps such as #Mapy.

MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.

A great way to update #openstreetmap for your region: check (and update) older POIs of a specific type for your region. For example, all pharmacies in #Niederösterreich that have not been updated for more than 5 years: overpass-turbo.eu/s/2hGO (change area and timeframe, then ‘Run’). #osm #maps

People can use CoMaps for leaving notes on #OpenStreetMap. Those notes can suggest edits that are outside CoMaps' editing capabilities.

You can help CoMaps & OpenStreetMap by looking over those notes and fixing them. Learn more about how to do so on our website: www.comaps.app/news/2025-10...

Don’t know how you can help the people of #Sumatera or Thailand ( #Songkhla) after recent flooding, or #SriLanka after cyclone #Ditwah, or #Jamaica after #HurricaneMelissa?
Just contribute to better and more complete maps in the area.

Did you know you can now add an address to OpenStreetMap directly from the CoMaps editor?

Every address improves navigation and discovery for millions of people worldwide.

Your small edit can make a big difference!

Easiest way to find old (, probably outdated) POI’s in your area: Overpass-Turbo.
Like: POI’s > 15y in #Tirol:
overpass-turbo.eu/s/2dPR (then click ‘run’).
Obviously, change ‘Tirol’ and/or date (3x) in script (and ‘run’) to make results more relevant for you. #openstreetmap #osm #mapping #overpass

Adding missing POI’s, is an important part of improving the quality of #openstreetmap (and #navigation dependent on #OSM).
Equally important, is cleaning up outdated POI’s, like removing shops that moved or don’t exist anymore for years.
