Contributing back to the community
OpenStreetMap's free and open License does not require data consumers to contribute anything back to the project directly, but so far skobbler has contributed in various ways:
- As currently one of the largest "data consumers" of OSM, and running popular apps Skobbler navigation, and ForeverMap, they create publicity and awareness of OpenStreetMap and thus help grow the community. It also gets more people to use OSM data and prove that it is useful for routing and worth helping out for people who are not yet familiar with OSM.
- skobbler has sponsored the development of an easy to use turn restriction plugin for JOSM. They have also sponsored a quality assurance tool for Europe, highlighting unconnected, close by way that are often bugs preventing correct routing.
- MapDust (mapdust.com), a bug reporting tool where users can highlight errors in the map data, or directly fix them themselves. MapDust is also fed by the skobbler turn-by-turn navigation with routing relevant errors.
- AddressHunter - A fun mobile game to improve OSM address data coverage.
