  • I try to shill https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete as much as I can and actively contribute in my area when ever I remember.

    One of my biggest motivating factors is that I'm nearly trapped in google search for things that involve local search and wanting to see a map, distance to drive, x,y or z in my area.

    I've also just recently stumbled onto the https://osmand.net/blog/osmand-android-4-1-released/ ability to load into my car so that's neat.
