Today I found out that it's actually a lot easier to contribute to Open Street Map than I thought. There are some serious gaps in house addresses in my area and I was painstakingly using the built in browser editor in the browser.

But, you can use a FOSS app (available on fdroid) called StreetComplete that makes it a lot easier to help out filling in the gaps in your local map data.

It's really fun - kind of like Pokémon Go but you are actually making an impact 😁

Works fine in Germany without any Special Maps

What does that mean, what are you referring to, with or without the custom map, what does working fine refer to

As I said "WITHOUT" any custom/special map. I can enter my home address as is and the search / navigation works as expected - same as it would for gmaps, apple maps, ...
