You fill out “quests” like if sidewalks have tactile ramps (for accessibility), what type of roads, road size, store hours, if bus stops are illuminated or have a shelter, bike spots, etc.

It’s been a few days and I’m addicted. And it’s a good way to contribute to OpenStreets and reduce supporting commercial map tools like Google Maps/Apple Maps.

I learned about it during a No Stupid Questions post about mobile games that reward you for walking.

I’m still relatively new and on the Global Leaderboard, ranked 1000 out of 5000.

    I like and appreciate what this is doing for the cause, but personally i don’t think I’d find myself wanting to play this.

    I’d be curious to know what others think so far though. It does seem like I’ve been seeing more things on OSM too, so maybe it is helping?
