Currently there’s only 3 big players when it comes to maps. You’ve got Google, Apple and Microsoft.

Let’s try to make OpenStreetMap the best map there is. Go grab StreetComplete and start mapping your surroundings when you’re out and about.

All the data is under a public license and managed by a non-profit foundation in the UK.

It’s very easy to get started, and quite addictive.

    The non-profit is even moving from the UK to the EU. I think Belgium but I’m not fully sure. As an OSM mapper its good for traffic away from these big players. I personally can recommend Osmand or Organic Maps for navigation
