(&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;play.google.com&amp;#x2F;store&amp;#x2F;apps&amp;#x2F;details?id=fr.dogeo.osmgo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;play.google.com&amp;#x2F;store&amp;#x2F;apps&amp;#x2F;details?id=fr.dogeo.osmgo...&lt;/a&gt;, open source on Github, but not yet available on F-Droid), which is the sweet spot for me: not as powerful as Vespucci, but much easier to use for adding&amp;#x2F;updating POIs. It has recently been translated into English, and though the UI is not perfect, it greatly improved the ease of contribution.&lt;p&gt;So now I am much more inclined to, when walking around somewhere with incomplete mapping, simply stop for a few seconds, add some missing data (wheelchair accessibility, opening hours, or a minor POI such as drinking water or even trash basket), and keep on walking. No extra homework required!&lt;p&gt;The amount of effort the community devotes to such apps and to OSM in general is incredible and contagious!</text></comment>

I discovered a lot of small details I assumed would have already been mapped. There&amp;#x27;s a lot left to do, even in a fairly well-covered area of the world.&lt;p&gt;This helped me plan better for when I go out mapping—all of the apps are slightly wonky to use, so you have to develop your own custom flow to be efficient.</text></comment>
