Please contribute missing data to OSM (Open Street Maps https://www.openstreetmap.org)! There are a lot of businesses and data that could be updated or added. With Square pushing for bitcoin payments for merchants, we need lots of people helping in this way to make the open source maps better for their specific areas.
Adding your data will help nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq and countless other projects out as they use Open Street Maps.

owner has attempted to add location and submitted verification, however, the email keeps getting rejected by postmaster simply because it's a Hotmail addy.... any assistance is helpful, thanks.
I'll take a look and see. 🙂
Listing updated. May take a day or so for data to show up. Some third party apps only update every few weeks.
If the proper category is chosen you'll find a payments field. You can choose payment types like cash, credit cards, etc. Bitcoin is not an official option, yet, but if you type it in you'll see it come up.

There is a wiki on how to get started or you can check out youtube tutorials. It's pretty easy to do basic edits or add add a business (aka point). Just try and be as accurate as possible.
If you're unsure about something you're submitting you can check the box to have the edit reviewed by a more experienced mapper.
Sorry, I don't know of a way to search at this point. btcmaps.org does a database for bitcoin on their website.
Can you confirm if they're taking onchain and/or lighting payments? I see in their pictures they have a bitcoin sign.
Great, already added two well known (by me) places directly from the app. So happy to help build open source knowledge 💪
