Today a couple approached me while I was finishing taking 360° photos for to ask if I was doing cartography. They were surprised to learn than I was not being paid! We talked for several minutes about OSM, and they asked a lot of questions about where to access it and what apps to use. I showed them @organicmaps and how they could use it to find details like water fountains and bike parking, which aren't present in Google Maps. They were so excited!

This is why I do the work. 🙂

@uneabeille What app do you use for 360 photos? Do the photos go to OSM or another site? I would love to add 360 photos to places.

@jessienab I use Mapillary, because it was where all the other locals had their pictures. The images can be made to show up in iD editor!
