I used to add photos to Google Maps. As I grew up, I feel that I dont want to support us corporation.

Which alternative is the most popular in your country? In Poland I use mapy.com, and I add ratings, photos of the places. Is there any better platform? What do you use in France, Germany, Italy etc?

It's a bit hidden: press the layer button, then "Places". You should see a red button with a cross at the bottom of your screen, you can use it to add a business. Same thing to add benches, trash bins, bike locks, etc: use the "Objects" layer.

You can also use the layer button to fill details about street lighting, parking spaces, etc.

You can also filter what quests are show, if it seems a bit overwhelming or you don't want to contribute to road surfaces, roof shapes, etc.

Burger menu > Settings > Quest selection and display order

Oh, wow. Thanks!

I only ever did the surveys and did all other edits using osmand (or just saved some point/tracks to a gpx and edited from my PC). That's so much easier at a first glance!

This was a good thing to know, it changed a lot! Thanks.

Maybe they should be more clesr about this in the app!

You can configure what questions get asked. The default can be quite tedious, depending on where you live

That's because iOS is generally not open-source-friendly.

So if I modify something there, is it updating open street maps org?

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yes

However, apart from facts (ie name, opening times, etc) there's little to add in the way of comments, photos, etc. For that see the other posts

Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚

I dont see an option to edit there anything. I wanted to add photos but I cant.

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed.

Open Streetmap only deals with the details - if you want to add photos, etc, then you'll need other applications / websites

As @hendrik@palaver.p3x.de mentioned: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Panoramax

Mapillary is similar, but it was bought up by facebook, so I don't think you're looking for that one.

[โ€“] Kkk2237pl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ok, I gave them a try. I uploaded some photos but it stucks at processing

The most recommended OSM editor for iOS is Go Map!!
