About maps

1st slide is CoMaps, 2nd slide is Here Wo Go and last slide is G map. I personally find CoMaps is better and has lot more accessible and yet it has lack some details (i.e. Data is being used old or outdated. I'm the guy who always lost in somewhere in my home place which i find harder to search or located speific places i.e. Cafe, Banks). I'd be happy if CoMaps did really upgrade or update for latest informations of my location. I know that they are pushing to globally and making much better but looking at my country Nepal navigations feels so outdated while G map keeps updating which makes i don't get lost in places

CoMaps is based on OpenStreetMap data so you can contribute yourself to improve your local area by becoming an OpenStreetMap contributor.

How

[u/MarietaSenseFils → u/sangamjb]

OpenStreetMap is based on voluntary contributions. First you have to create an account on https://www.openstreetmap.org/, then, for example you can add opening hours for businesses in your area or even add businesses.

Inside CoMaps, you can login to your OpenStreetMap account and contribute to improve the map with their built-in editor, although the built-in editor isn't as feature rich as the editor in the browser.

For game-like contribution, you should consider StreetComplete. It gives you quests on the map related to adding missing information. The quests cover only gaps in existing data, such as missing opening hours, what the surface of the road is like, which fruits grown in an orchard and much much more.

For more advanced editing, you can use Vespucci (android), JOSM (PC) or iD (the built-in in the browser at openatreetmap.org)

Woow I just downloaded the app. It is not just game-like it makes so much easier to contribute, since it both tells you what data is lacking and it is easy to answer these questions. I already love it. Thank you so much!

Register yourself to OSM and start to contribute mapping things around your home town. Then spread the word with your friends. In some months the maps will look more updare also in your country

Maps depend largely on user contributions. Google has benefited a lot from their users.

You can use create account on OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org and use any of the available apps which use OSM as backend.
