    Thank you, German government:

    > Within the frame of Prototype Fund round 15 (March 2024 to August 2024), the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research sponsored Tobias Zwick to work on StreetComplete for iOS (see progress report)

    And NLnet.

      I was curious what they&#x27;re currently sponsoring; here&#x27;s another neat OSM project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;osm2world.org&#x2F;demo&#x2F;?lat=52.5239396&amp;lon=13.4104859&amp;radius=1828.67&amp;alpha=0.953&amp;beta=0.755" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;osm2world.org&#x2F;demo&#x2F;?lat=52.5239396&amp;lon=13.4104859&amp;ra...

      The current demo doesn&#x27;t seem to cover many places worldwide, but what is there is really neat! To me this already looks better than modern city sim games, because they never seem to get the scale right, among other things.

      Not sure what&#x27;s stopping them from covering more places, since the idea presumably is to generate these tiles from existing OSM data. And in fact one of the easiest things to do with StreetComplete is add the height and type of a building.

        Missing so many fundamental pieces of digital infrastructure, at least getting mapping to the point where it isn&#x27;t a Google monopoly is amazing.
