We want to inaugurate this new section dedicated to apps FOSS with one application very intelligent and interesting call StreetComplete.. We have already talked previously about alternatives to Google Maps citing above all the mammoth project OpenStreetMap. OSM it's a project Open source to create maps of the whole world and which allows anyone to make changes (it's a bit like the Wikipedia of maps).
The importance of changes
It's a free project and as we said Open source, there is no big company behind it it can make cars and cartographers go around. So it's all based on the changes made by the users who use it. To be able to make changes, a simple registration on their site is required. It's not complicated but the changes can waste some time between troubleshooting and reporting.
Changes in one click with StreetComplete
This brilliant app called. comes into play here StreetComplete. In very few clicks you will be able to see the reports around you and, as a game, you will be able to complete missions such as the lack of a store name, The name of a street or more simply the type of road pavement.
We tested it quite thoroughly and managed to make many changes around us in a really simple way. In fact, it is enough to open the application and let yourself be geolocalized for ease of use and all the possible improvements to be made around us begin to emerge.
No technical knowledge
One of the things we appreciated most is the fact that with StreetComplete there is no need for any technical knowledge as you really don't need anything other than registering on the OpenStreetMap site to be able to make changes while logged in. Furthermore, the app requires very few permissions. You can like this collaborate actively to the development of OpenSourceMaps having fun. AND free and totally Open source.
