    The open/close times, photos, and real-time crowd report in Google Maps make it the hardest Google service to completely replace.

        It has a field for it, but I’ve found it to be missing the data for a lot of places compared to Google. This probably varies by city so maybe it’s just bad luck for me.

            Just made my first map contribution yesterday after I went to a business that wasn’t marked on the map and it’s lit a fire in me to mark more. Too bad I don’t go to new places often…

      The open times are easy to contribute with the StreetComplete app.

      OSMand has a Street View type of thing called Mapillary.

      Yeah traffic seems like it’s going to be tricky for any open source project. CoMaps claims they are working on it.
