To the #degoogle and #deletefacebook advocates, the #privacy and #FOSS advocates, please consider contributing editing to #OpenStreetMap. I want a good and usable alternative to current popular #maps apps.

See.. you understand me.
looks like you can still see some tile sets at http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/breki.hiking-demo/page.html#11/46.7671/7.7536
@sproid Let's bring a hands on part in here:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/
With #StreetComplete everyone can contribute to OpenStreetmap and help to improve the data.
If you want to do bigger changes, you can put a note there, and as soon as you are at a desktop, go to https://www.openstreetmap.org/ sign in, and use the edit button.
The tutorial makes it really simple to get started, so please try before calling it too complicated :3
@sheogorath
Thanks. I recently installed that one and also Vespucci app.
@sproid @sheogorath OSMAnd and Maps.me allow you do to some simple editing of places. Maps.me is a nice app. Both show you offline data for an area, great for when you're traveling away from home.
@sheogorath
I'm giving this a shot
@sproid
@sproid I've got to say, here in Germany OSM is often better than Google Maps (in detail, maybe not always in listing of shops and co.).
@sproid I do contribute to #OpenSreetMap. Doesn't everybody?
@sproid I've got this covered. You can find me and my edits on OSM under the name ExpresswayDave.
@sproid 👋 We have a little #OpenStreetMap instance here on https://en.osm.town (and https://fr.osm.social for francophonie).
@sproid have been thinking about this lately too. Just downloaded some apps that let you edit on the fly. Really wish there was an iOS app with better map skins tho like the ones CloudMade has.
