StreetComplete makes contributing to OpenStreetMap easy and fun by turning contributions into “quests” on a map for you to complete. No personal information is required, just create an OpenStreetMap account, and start contributing directly in your area!

I tried this out myself, and it is truly fantastic! I had never heard of it, and I’m sure many of you haven’t either, so spread the word!

Tip: When entering buildings to ask questions (opening hours, etc.) be ready to explain what OpenStreetMap is :)

    And that in itself can be enough to assign an ID each time the server reponds to a request and keep track of server generated ID’s to start creating a folder for each ID to have a record of user history on the servers.

      Because OSM doesn’t already do that for them? Every edit is saved under your account, as has been said, they don’t need to do any of that

      Paranoia that someone doing something that you’re explicitly allowing them to do makes you look silly, you know
