Missing addresses and places (lemmy.world)

For context I switched to Magic Earth a while back as it was the best Google Maps alternative to me, however with the recent switch to a Freemium model that also introduced a ton of bugs, I'm looking for other alternatives.

One thing I noticed immediately about comaps is its misssing a LOT of addresses and places here in the US that were available on Magic Earth. Can I somehow manually import better address/maps data? It's to the point it's really not usable for me but I'm struggling to find anything else that works nearly as good as Magic Earth.

Can you check wether these adresses exist on openstreetmap.org? (CoMaps uses data from OSM)

No, looks like they're not, except one I added in CoMaps, so that explains it.

How does Magic Earth have all those addresses then? There was even a restaurant I was looking for the other day that I found on Magic Earth but not CoMaps. Is Magic Earth's map data open-source or can that somehow be loaded into CoMaps?

No idea honestly :/ But if you have some free time I recommend trying out StreetComplete, it's a slightly addictive app for adding adresses and such from your area to OSM :)

Pretty sure Magic Earth uses several databases.

Do they publish a list anywhere? I'd love to see what they're using and see if I can get it into CoMaps somehow
