2021 - The Rise of Map Editors like StreetComplete

In 2021, StreetComplete became the 2nd editor by number of users, with 21.9k users, second only to the original OSM editor, iD.

StreetComplete was created as an easy-to-use OpenStreetMap editor for Android phones and tablets that can be used for mapping in the field. It’s made specifically for casual contributors and beginners, and  no prior knowledge about OpenStreetMap (such as tagging schemes) is required to contribute with this app. StreetComplete also offers gamification and statistics that aim to introduce and inspire users to venture deeper into the world of OpenStreetMap.

• GoMap!! – a fully featured editor for iOS
• Vespucci – a fully featured editor for Android with full and direct access to OSM data
