I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It’s satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to “be right” on the internet.

It already is better than Google in some areas. For instance, it has way more information on hiking trails.

Pretty sure they’re used for RideGPS, too.
