react-geo VS MapComplete

The second approach considers rendering components like the draw interaction mentioned above as child components of the react map component. The map instance could then be passed down to the children of the map component either directly as a prop or by leveraging reacts context object using the Provider pattern. However, the react documentation explicitly advises against using context, though we found a number of solutions using this pattern (react-geo, react-leaflet) and also popular libraries like react-redux make use of it. We therefore thought about using React.Children.map() to clone the child components and then adding map to them as a prop.

Bonus: if something is missing, you can easily correct it yourself, e.g. with https://mapcomplete.org

Such a niche map is something that is very hard to pull of. You need a community of millions to contribute geodata, so if such a map is not based on OpenStreetMap, it is destined to whither after a few years.

But, don't fret. This is precisely why I made https://mapcomplete.org, where you can create niche maps based on OpenStreetMap. This jumpstarts general information but has the possibility to add very niche questions. The added bonus is that, when you add e.g. a cafe, it'll be available in all other maps as well.

For this topic, I've added a filter to filter on 'has internet access'. I also added the question if a cafe offers electricity, but those haven't been marked in NYC yet; so here is a map with all cafes offering internet access: https://mapcomplete.org/cafes_and_pubs.html?z=9.8&lat=40.697...

Browsing can be done without an account, contributing requires an OSM-account.

For those who want to help out with adding all public toilets to OpenStreetMap: I made a website to make this easy: https://mapcomplete.org/toilets

You can see all toilets without an account and add a missing toilet or update information with a free/libre OpenStreetMap-account. Adding information also means it'll get picked up eventually by many of the navigation apps out there (such as Maps.me, Organic Maps, OsmAnd, nearly all of the cycle+pedestrian route planners, ...).

And there are many other thematic maps - a template system makes them easy to setup: https://mapcomplete.org/

Just want to point out that this user is the creator of the wonderful tool MapComplete (https://mapcomplete.osm.be) which helps you adding more information to the data available in the OSM database. If you have some free time and have local knowledge of your area, I really suggest giving this tool a try, you can choose between multiple themes (which will show different quests) and add info that you know the most.

Maybe MapComplete too? https://mapcomplete.osm.be

I'm thinking about making a mapcomplete theme specifically for all types of vending machines, but I'm lacking the time for it.

Mapcomplete is just the website for your requirements and for desktop use.

They aim for a simple (aka reduced) editor to use - if they work out some of the technical issues - they kind of deliver that promise. But of course, I like MapComplete more as "simple editor". (Disclaimer: that's what I made)

The reason that I haven't pursued a gamification approach with https://mapcomplete.osm.be is twofold:

- I'm focusing on other usability issues (and features) first
