GeoSnap

OpenStreetMap compared to Google Maps is visually sparse. Most locations have little to no photos, which hurts usability and trust for everyday users.

GeoSnap addresses this directly. Users can select multiple photos at once, and the app extracts the EXIF GPS metadata embedded in each image to automatically place it at the right location on the map. Before anything is submitted, users get a review step to verify placements, and once confirmed, the photos are pushed as contributions to OpenStreetMap.

The idea is simple: most photos taken on a smartphone already have location data baked in. GeoSnap just puts that data to work, making it easy for anyone to contribute real-world imagery to OSM without any technical knowledge.
