I am daily driving #AppleMaps now for around a year. And wow … it is bad. I just didn’t switch back because I am stubborn and I prefer no ads but the data is absolutely horrible (I am in #Singapore ).
Does anyone have other alternatives to #GoogleMaps, or any tips?
@kevindreher Openstreetmap? It's a community effort that is quite complete. It's better than Google in some cases (it lists all the bike trails, which Google doesn't do).
Anyone can help contribute to the map data, and I've spent time adding correct postcodes to the maps here.
I want to preface this next statement by first letting you know that I’m an active contributor to OSM.
Depending on where you live, OSM can be VERY detailed with complete information, but there are also locations where not even addresses have been added.
@cliftonmr@kevindreher@organicmaps I have contributed some missing address information to my neighbourhood to OSM. Street numbers and post codes were missing for some buildings.
I live in a less populated area though, and I can't speak for the rest of Singapore.
@loke@cliftonmr@kevindreher@organicmaps thanks for your and everyone else’s contributions, that’s how the most detailed and up to date maps are created. One of our goals is to provide an easy to use basic OSM map editor so anyone, including your parents, can actualize the map data.
