With all the geoscribble promotion here, it's easy to forget what are those big circles in the notes mode. Yup, those are OSM Notes.

Need to remap the area later or leave a message to other mappers? Tap (+) and enable the "Publish to OSM" switch.

Screenshot of Every Door in the notes mode, with a satellite imagery on the background. There are five circles visible on the map: one yellow and four white.

@everydoor where do those notes / scribbles end up if you *don’t* publish to OSM?

Every Door OSM Editor replied to Roelant

@Roelant They become a part of geoscribbles, which have both linear and point features. The idea is, labels like road surfaces or gate status belong to the scribbles database, and not the general OSM, which imposes the whole lifecycle management on notes etc.

Roelant replied to Every Door OSM Editor

@everydoor ok, thanks for explaining!

And to make sure I understand: there’s no such thing as a private scribble just for oneself to proces later?

(Which would fill the gap of an iOS version of geonotes, which is painfully lacking 😅)

Every Door OSM Editor replied to Roelant

@Roelant No, there are no private scribbles, although it's possible to filter by username.

Next year it will most likely be possible to redirect the editor to use your own geoscribbles instance.
