 Today a couple approached me while I was finishing taking 360° photos for #OpenStreetMap to ask if I was doing cartography. They were surprised to learn than I was not being paid! We talked for several minutes about OSM, and they asked a lot of questions about where to access it and what apps to use. I showed them @organicmaps and how they could use it to find details like water fountains and bike parking, which aren't present in Google Maps. They were so excited! This is why I do the work. 🙂 6 comments
 @uneabeille What app do you use for 360 photos? Do the photos go to OSM or another site? I would love to add 360 photos to places. @jessienab I use Mapillary, because it was where all the other locals had their pictures. The images can be made to show up in iD editor!   @uneabeille @organicmaps Encroyable! Great work in promoting OSM 👍 Used it (again) today for a half hour drive and only realised about an hour later my mobile data wasn't actually turned on. My Organic maps app had my journey local, with zero issues getting where I needed to. Pretty sure Google/Apple maps don't work offline. Ne pas s’arrêter 😊 |

They also complimented my French and my accent, which is always super gratifying as a second language speaker.
