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.

    I’m in the US but this post made me finally download Organic Maps…

    …is there a way to get rid of the “about” button in the bottom left?

    Kind of draws the eye and it’s not exactly a useful button on the main screen

      I don’t know I’m afraid. I just don’t click on it myself, but I agree, it’s not a very useful button to display on the main screen all the time.

      Edit: Removed comma so that it doesn’t sound like I’m scared. Thanks for correcting my English.
