Do you only contribute what is useful for your own use cases, or whatever you can improve the map with?

Wiki has a huge article about editor usage statistics: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editor_usage_stats

Also a lot of stats here, with up to date graphs: https://piebro.github.io/openstreetmap-statistics/#eb30

TLDR:

You can see your personal editor usage statistics on https://hdyc.neis-one.org This is mine:

My hdyc pie chart doesn't show: "Could not draw pie with labels contained inside canvas".

List-wise: JOSM, StreetComplete, OsmAnd, Potlatch, Vespucci, iD, JOSM (Reverter), MapComplete, Pic4Review and then the ones that are under 10.

Is this you? https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?InsertUser I think the problem is on your end, I can see your chart. Maybe you block some script required to draw that? It's drawn by the frontend.

Weird, so that's just a Firefox thing then.

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I'm using Firefox with strict protection policy with Ublock Origin on Linux, so it's not a general Firefox thing, I would consult the browser console, or maybe check if it's still not visible in a private window and without addons.

I use that one for finding stuff, but I had no idea you could also add places with it! The interface actually seems pretty decent!

Keep in mind that Organic Maps is mainly a navigation tool. Their data source is up to a month outdated and things you map with it could be already mapped in the source but not updated in OM.

I use or have used, depending on the situation, JOSM, OsmAnd~, Ever Door, StreetComplete and Vespucci.

If I'm out and about and have a second I will contribute whatever I can, even if it isn't useful to me. I have not, however, stepped up my game and started mapping trees or fire hydrants.

Usually iD, but sometimes Vespucci and JOSM (I use it when I have som GPS data alongside).

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

I like JOSM. It's complicated but I started with easy things and slowly grew my knowledge of the software. Now it's quite easy to hop on for a few minutes at a time to an hour or two adding whole neighborhoods.

OSM browser editor and Go Map!!! on my iPhone. I mostly do what interests me (bike parking, pedestrian/bike trails, etc.) but sometimes I work on more general stuff.
