I've been contributing to Google Maps for a while, specifically, I usually upload pictures of menu's from restaurants, so future visitors can see them before they decide to eat there! I'm trying to degoogle my life a bit & was wondering if there is a way I could contribute these to OSM?

If the menu is available on a website you can link to it by adding the website:menu tag. These will show on Organic Maps for example

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key%3Awebsite%3Amenu

See for example this bar that Organic Maps shows the link to the Menu:

I've added 'image:menu' and 'website:menu' to https://mapcomplete.org/food . With it, you can now upload an image of the menu with a few clicks.

@pietervdvn: cool, did not know that page. Where is it uploading to?

@redd

The images to imgur are backed up in case they get deleted from imgur for whatever reason btw.

And soon :tm: they'll be uploaded to an open source image hosting system but I still need to get that online

Images are uoloaded to imgur. Not perfect, but it just works and is reliable.

All other data gets (generally) uploaded to OSM, except for reviews which go to mangrove.reviews

And there is some Wikipedia/Wikidata in the mix for some other pages too, but that is clearly attributed

@pietervdvn @randomaccount43543 cool!

In my experience website menus aren't incredibly common, perhaps I could upload the photo and link that though.

That's really neat! Thanks
