🥰 Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you for the compliment!
Then, please, add this single place :)

It is not ‘by OSM’. The foundation is not involved at all, neither are members of the community.
This is big corpos who put together their data, and they have to include OSM because it is so great… which also means they have to open up this data due to our ODBL license!
And yes, we can thus absorb this data back into OSM, but it is not worth it
Give https://mapcomplete.org a try as well
WHAT? HOW DARE YOU INSULT OPENSTREETMAP, THE MOST USED DIGITAL MAP!
(In all seriousness, I wouldn’t be surprised that OSM is actually used the most, especially because it creeps into many other maps. But of course, this usage is spread over many apps and not a single advertising map product, where GMaps is undoubtly the biggest one)
Have a look at https://mapcomplete.org/glutenfree
Because they render the map offline (and have a slow render engine)
Looks like V2. That one shows the grid for not-yet-rendered areas
Should be possible. With reviews however, one needs a central curator to weed out the spam reviews…
whether they buy out the project
Which is why an open license is important: it allows to fork if needed.
This is actually a really interesting case. On one hand, there is typically a specialized company involved creating those maps. On the other hand, the mall which requested them is, by law, required to create them and to put them at visible places in the mall (thus “publishing” them). According to the European Database Law, they would thus not be eligible for copyright and should be considered public domain!
However, I wouldn’t build a multi-million company on it…
You can also add those (and many more) with https://mapcomplete.org . This is a different app (or rather) a website, which was inspired by streetcomplete
Wow, very good first attempt! I’m reviewing the layers you made (esp. fuel station and sanitary dump station) and they seem very well done!
I’ve spotted a few small mistakes, but nothing fundamental.
It would IMHO be even more interesting to have a layer about the canals themselfs, to indicate what types of boats (e.g. small boats, kayaks, …) are legally allowed to and physically possible to go over a certain waterway; that would be great!
As MC dev, I’m a bit curious on how your data pipeline works. Is there some documentation around for this?
We don’t do “approval” here, all changes are live directly. However, it might be that your application of choice simply didn’t update yet.
Would you mind on elaborating how you would expect it to work?
If you have a lot of interactions with canal boaters, it might be interesting to create one or more custom layers in mapcomplete. Give MapComplete Studio a shot (but keep in mind that it is not exactly user friendly, let me know where you get stuck and I’ll try to fix it).
If you have created one or a few layers you like, let me know and I might include them in the production version of MapComplete.
The campersite theme on mapcomplete shows sanitary dump stations as well
You are supposed to have a separate entry for the bicycle repair stand and the office. One could move leaving the other behind.
With https://mapcomplete.org/cyclofix.html?z=18.4&lat=51.34379511912127&lon=12.369132296106727, it should be easy to add them.
