I use and contribute to it almost every day! A fantastic open data mapping!
What an incredibly integral component of our digital lives. (And the only reason Apple Maps can exist, btw.)
I’ve been using OpenStreetMap for a while now, and it’s impressive how detailed and community-driven the platform is. Unlike commercial maps, OSM often has more accurate local data — especially for small towns and hiking routes. As someone who enjoys exploring less-traveled areas, this has been incredibly useful. I’ve even contributed a few edits myself, and it feels great to be part of something open and collaborative. It’s not the most polished UX out there, but the idea behind it — free, open, and editable by anyone — is what makes it powerful. Highly recommended for developers, cyclists, hikers, or anyone who’s tired of maps hidden behind paywalls.
