When editing #OpenStreetMap on the go, @everydoor is my hands-down favorite, but I'd hesitate recommending it for more new mappers. I've been playing with #OsmGo just now, and really like how easy it is, maybe even for new contributors. Plus, it's a progressive web app that runs in a browser, or installable in your device: https://osmgo.com , so this also seems to be a great candidate tool to introduce as a friendly editor for @openstreetmap mapping parties for new users. 6 comments
 @strypey @MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor its all OSM data. Havent tried OSM Go yet, but can recommend streetcomplete and every door.  Yes, you can add *lots* of data directly to OSM about PoIs etc. Do you have an example of where the data is lacking, and what you think should be there? What sort of device do you want to contribute with? (Desktop Webrowser/ Apple? Android? paper?) POIs in general are hard to maintain. Even Big G is struggling with that on their maps. Theme-specific POIs are probably slightly better, when there are interested parties who are keen to maintain them, or keep them up-to-date. If you don't like to map them directly yourself, when you're on site, then you're next bet is to use fresh (and compatible) ground imagery, to map them when you can. |

The only problem I have with OSMGo is that when adding a crossing the software doesn’t merge it with a nearby way (as opposed to EveryDoor). Otherwise it’s a great app.
