The Overture Maps Foundation (OMF) is a collaborative effort by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom “to enable current and next-generation interoperable open map products”. This is their first open map dataset.

For Poiets of Interest, check Every Door. You can find it easily, helps verifying if POIs still exist and add new ones very easily
StreetComplete is also awesome but meant for other data. I use both
I add it through their web interface. I signed up several years ago, but I spent 2020 and 2021 updating OSM for my city to be as good as Google Maps for major places, posting their open and close times, better pin placement and such.
Here’s one option on F-Droid: https://www.f-droid.org/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete
Tried it once a couple of years ago and now I’m interested in giving it another shot

I guess OSM is too open for them? Or maybe OSM didn’t want to give in to corporate demands.

Ah, that’s actually pretty cool if it’s sufficiently open. OSM is pretty lacking where I am, and I know, I can contribute to it, but I really don’t have the capacity to figure that all out right now.
