Actually this is not so hard to achieve, depending on the geographic region. Just start mapping. If I'm not mistaken, your last edits have been done 12 years ago. The map isn't going to improve itself, (craft) mappers need to improve it. So fire up StreetComplete in your area and do some mapping. After having answered all SC quests in your surroundings, perform another walk with EveryDoor or a similar app and add even more information. Gradually, the map data will improve! It is really that simple, just give it a try.
