@colinstu If you hate that reality, why are you actively working to reinforce it instead of joining the thousands who are working to overthrow it? 🤔

I’ve never contributed to #GoogleMaps and never will. #OpenStreetMap all the way. I choose to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

We tell people about #OSM and its benefits. We design, print, and distribute publicity material like posters and T-shirts. We connect with other communities to spread the word.

This is the way.

@axx @colinstu @kkarhan Even if you don't use #OpenStreetMap data all the time, it's usually an excellent fall-back in many scenarios.

Years ago my brother stayed near Padova, Italy. The rental car satnav was very poor round the villa they had rented, but #OpenStreetMap (in the form of #Maps.Me) was very good & didn't mobile data.

On another occasion he was in Kyoto. Not only did he find the manga shop his daughter had told him to visit, but he had a lovely hike through the hills.

@CoMaps Very excited to see where this goes! In future posts, you might benefit from including hashtags so as to be caught by people unfamiliar with your org but interested in what you’re working on, such as #navigation, #maps, #OpenStreetMap, #community, etc. Without the algorithms present in corporate social media, discovery on the Fediverse is significantly strengthened by explicitly tagging relevant fields and interests!
