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?
For osm I can recommend https://streetcomplete.app/ which gamifys adding entries
i tried it, but it mostly asks about Roadsurfaces and such minor details. its cool but i would say its to fine detail and i see now where options to add buisnesses…
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.

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
No app for ios. Ehh ;)
That’s because iOS is generally not open-source-friendly.

So if I modify something there, is it updating open street maps org?
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
Very impressive
Thank you 🙂
I dont see an option to edit there anything. I wanted to add photos but I cant.
Agreed.
Open Streetmap only deals with the details - if you want to add photos, etc, then you’ll need other applications / websites
As @[email protected] 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.
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!!
