I found their other website[0] to be a bit more informative about what the project was actually aiming for. (Of course, the github page is better for working with the code.)<p>It&#x27;s an interesting (and useful) project idea, but the subscription rates seem _very_ steep to me. It also isn&#x27;t clear why there isn&#x27;t a minimum free version for individuals to utilize? It seems like having a free tier to encourage individuals to add info to the database (a la openstreemaps) would be the easiest way to grow the database of information -- once that database exists, it could be monetized using the subscriptions they have. I&#x27;d probably walk around and add info to their system, but I wouldn&#x27;t pay $90&#x2F;mo to do that. Is that the purpose of the open source code? Would I then have to run my own database?<p>[0] <a href="https://www.opentreemap.org/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opentreemap.org&#x2F;</a>
