Organic maps SPECIFICALLY doesn't want that. It would be grounds for them being sued and having to comb through their database and remove any "questionable" material.

It would be the end of the project, they don't have money for that.

@Melatonin @MigratingtoLemmy

Not Organic Maps, that's just the client. The data is OpenStreetMap, more info about imports here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import

Oops, right. New to this, just started using.

@Melatonin No problem ๐Ÿ™‚ Organic Maps is a great client for OSM. And doesn't it feel good knowing that by correcting something through Organic Maps you are taking part in a community of 10M users who together created a 2TB xml file map of the whole planet, free for anyone to download? It's one of the miracles of the free libre world.

I just downloaded, the only restaurant listed is a McDonald's like 10 miles away... I got a lot of adding to do ๐Ÿ˜…

I wish they had some fake points and a competition

Oh... and the Arby's that used to be in the town over is labeled "Honey baked ham"
