MapComplete is an OpenStreetMap editor which aims to be really easy to use. The core idea is that it shows a single theme which is relevant for a single interest, e.g. cycling, nature, speeds, trees... It is however possible to switch the theme in the app.
This web-based editor enthusiastically reuses ideas from StreetComplete and MapContrib. The editor offers the capability to modify tags on existing features and to add new points. Modifying geometry is not possible, neither is adding ways.
While it is easy to create custom themes, there are some built-in (official) themes too. To create your own theme, follow the video tutorial and have a look to the the official docs. Get in touch with the MapComplete-community in the chatroom with any Telegram or Matrix client chat software.
For an introduction oriented to people who aren't into OSM yet, see the project page at OSM.be

Running an assisted import with MapComplete
All OSM-based layers in MapComplete will automatically read the OpenStreetMap-notes and show notes which might indicate a possible missing feature matching the layer.
For example: if a layer shows all key=value-features, then a note with the following text will be shown:
There might be a feature of type XYZ here https://mapcomplete.osm.be/some_theme.html?lat=51.0&lon=4&z=18#import key=value key0=value0
This means that it is possible to run a campaign to resurvey data from an external dataset which has to be imported.
There are no requirements on whom creates these notes.
There is a page on mapcomplete which helps to create these notes and which performs validation, filters out duplicates and makes sure that all goes smoothly. There is an additional page with an overview of the import campaign and with a few tools to update or to close the notes from a single batch (e.g. to clean them up after a year of inactivity)
Forks
There are a few forks running, separate from the official instance on mapcomplete.osm.be:
- The staging version on pietervdvn.github.io/MapComplete, which is the testing ground of the dev.
- kletterspots.de which features climbing locations. The theme of that version is pulled back and available as an official theme
- frankfurt-vegan.de for vegan and vegetarian restaurants
- Waldbrand app with fire hydrants
- Mobanisto fork with cycle networks
List of unofficial themes
MapComplete allows to load a self-made theme. A theme-configuration is basically a JSON-document. If this json document is encoded with base64 and passed in via the URL-hash (together with ?userlayout=something), this theme will be loaded.
This has given rise to quite some custom themes, which can be visited below. Keep in mind that some of them can be rough around the edges. If you see something that can be improved, you can change this! The theme can be loaded in the custom generator by visiting the theme, opening the 'share'-panel and clicking the edit-theme-button.
If you make substantial improvements, copy the share-link and update it below to 'publish' your change. This way, the themes below can grow and become better. If they are useful, have a decent English translation and are somewhat polished, they might be made official - open a PR or issue on the issue tracker then.
