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.

    Jawg would know everywhere where you go, since they provide the tile data. I don’t think they would be able to link it to an OSM account though

    The public would be able to identify where you go because your changes would be published against your username, as it is with Wikipedia
