Silly question, but what does this mean? Just using it or improving the maps/app somehow?

I think you can edit osm data from within organic maps so thats what i was assuming, but the app could probably also use more developers :D

Yup, I'm adding locations that don't exist in OSM. Honestly, the app is fantastic as-is, but maybe I'll look into their bug tracker and see what I can do.

TIL there's an Edmonton in the London area that the Edmonton in Canada is named after.

Huh. Also, TIL, OP isn't in either the UK or Canada, and they live about halfway between my friend and my cousin (despite me not knowing about either two cities in OP's post).

Thanks for the nudge! I just added a dozen or so businesses to the area around me. I think this will become a fun hobby, since apparently a lot of my local area is missing.

I'm trying to use Organic Maps more, so I guess it's on me to improve the OSM data for my local area. It would be nice to get faster updates to OM though, waiting a month or more kinda sucks.
