From Google maps: Congrats! Your photos just reached a new milestone. Collectively they have now been viewed over 250,000 times, helping lots of people get the information they need.
what is really great is how they dont pay me anything for it....
Organic Maps is based on @openstreetmap, which is a kind of big map database. It's like Wikipedia, but for maps. Everybody can freely contribute to it. And mostly, it's way more accurate than Google Maps. Official website : osm.org (creating an account is free) Qwant maps : maps.qwant.com (like Google maps in your browser)
And OSM itself doesn't handle pictures or reviews of places, but if that's what you are after, there's some integration with @mangroveReviews in @MapComplete .
Pretty empty for now, but I reviewed some 8 or so places recently :)

I stopped contributing a while ago. When I started seeing ads in it, I was done.
