Why do we regularly update our map files? Because thanks to thousands of OpenStreetMap editors, the maps are constantly getting better, like seen here. Do you contribute to OSM? Then show us some of your own favorite before/after map images in CoMaps!
And if you don't have any before/after images at hand: You still got some days to map before we start the next map generation 😉

You might be able to find websites who have implemented their own tile server and not maintained them. Here's one example via a Reddit post, but it's not ancient.
Obviously this isn't any good for the CoMaps comparison screenshots.
no before/after pics, but my contribs have mostly amounted to:
As a fairly longtime OSM user and someone with hundreds of contributions: thank you!!!
The project couldn't function without contributors like you who keep the map timely.
No screenshot, because that would dox me. I am slowly moving through the village, adding house numbers, websites and opening hours for businesses and so on.
I have made probably thousands of small edits with the app StreetComplete.
Yeah, came here to say the same... I have >10k edits with Street Complete
I only learned that CoMaps had an edit function recently, but I've only used that for additional items like wifi at cafes for example
This one is just some added details to a community pool.
In this one, a municipal airport wasn't showing up on maps because it's boundary relation was no longer closed. I traced the fence surrounding the airport and used that as the boundary.
NGL the only thing that could make these maps useful for me would be Current Bus Routes, and good luck because in some municipalities not even the city's official websites are up to date and for some reason only Google Maps and Apple Maps are capable of telling when buses and trams actually arrive.
If somebody knows how to fix that please let me know.
EDIT:
Step 1: Find the GTFS data
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Profit
You could check out if project https://transitous.org/ is already using this feeds instead. If they don't use them, you could point out developers to this feeds!
Not going to doxx myself, but I've been updating local businesses and their opening hours. I've also been adding things like wilderness huts and campgrounds that weren't yet documented.
I added the sushi place near me with all the info, because every time I need to check their website or frigging Facebook to see if they're open or not. I think I'll add more places, its pretty easy with vespucci
Living in suburbia, so mostly adding residential addresses with my dog. (She's my mapping buddy) Also adding/updating businesses whenever I go somewhere and see that it doesn't exist on OSM. Also some paint by numbers if I'm feeling like it.
I mapped out my entire neighborhood and a few of the surrounding one along with running routes. I also added all the maker labs which was fun. I had no idea there were so many in my town.
It is quite gratifying to know that quite a few services can find my house specifically because I added to the map.
Mainly doing SCEE edits anywhere I go. Updating opening times adding metadata to existing nodes like accessibility for blind ppl. Charging capacity for chargers and a lot of what is this road surfaced with. At one point I even got a laser distance meter to measure bridge height and road width. But that's fairly rare nowadays because I already mapped all of them in a 20km radius.

I wish I had a before and after picture of my city. I mapped 95% of it over a few years.
