My biggest wish is that there’s an easy way to contribute images to wikimedia and to link them easily with osm. As soon as that’s possible, we’ll map the world much quicker and more reliable. Someone might take pictures of benches and another one will add the info if there’s a backrest from home.

    I guess the main problem is that it’s not accessible to the broad osm-public. I can map my area perfectly but I can’t go to other places. It needs to be accessible and easy to use.

      What do you mean with “it’s not accessible to the broad public”? The pictures get linked properly with an ‘image’-tag, so it shows up in e.g. OsmAnd.

        Yes, but the upload process is not accessible. It has to be accessible, otherwise everything I do is just a drop into the ocean

          With mapcomplete, it is literally clicking ‘upload image’, taking a picture and waiting for it to be uploaded?
