You fill out “quests” like if sidewalks have tactile ramps (for accessibility), what type of roads, road size, store hours, if bus stops are illuminated or have a shelter, bike spots, etc.

It’s been a few days and I’m addicted. And it’s a good way to contribute to OpenStreets and reduce supporting commercial map tools like Google Maps/Apple Maps.

I learned about it during a No Stupid Questions post about mobile games that reward you for walking.

I’m still relatively new and on the Global Leaderboard, ranked 1000 out of 5000.

    there is a narrow alleyway near me that all the GPS systems seem to think is a road. It isn’t a road, you cannot travel down it. It’s bugged me for years, if we updated in this app will I fix it for other GPS systems or is this a standalone thing that only nerds use?
