Because this is a mix of the directory listing of Facebook and Instagram+bing buildings+some more stuff. And it is very liberally licensed, allowing to (slowly) import all shop information from Facebook into OSM...

Basically, a big part of the data that is missing in OSM!

Try https://mapcomplete.osm.be and pick a thematic map within your interest.

You can get the fully unlocked version from F-Droid as well

Hi, that is an excellent question, but I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.

Are you trying to add some virtual points to a trip you are planning? (i.e. "at this point, I will have travelled 1 mile")

Or are you trying to add physical milestones (or historical milestones) into the shared geospation database called "OpenStreetMap"?

If so, the approach will be completely different.

No. Both package the same OSM-data, but they use a different binary format.

Maybe checkout https://yosmhm.neis-one.org and http://hdyc.neis-one.org/ for cool maps. The first one is a heatmap of all your changes.

NextCloud has a PhoneTrack plugin

The rule is that we don't map temporary stuff (such as events).

However, nothing is truly permanent. So, it depends a bit. If you have road works lasting for one week, feel free to map them and to restore it as not-working a week later ;)

Road works lasting >6 months are typically mapped - at least in my experience. There are no hard rules about this though and there is no consensus in the community. At last, have a look to the lifecycle prefixes: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

Try OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one has many features but is less user friendly.

Google is supposed not to copy OSM...
