Well, unfortunately, what we see on the ground (and try to map in #OpenStreetMap ) is not necessarily always what we (or the locals) wanted, or hope to ever see.

Hopefully, it's a work in progress, and they get around to fixing more essential things. 🤞

You may find some of them listed on the wiki: https://osm.org/wiki/Software/Mobile, but that's probably incomplete.

@beta_tester thanks, I sometimes use the #SCEE fork, aka the "Expert Edition", but not #StreetComplete

@Doudouosm

The https://digitalpublicgoods.net/registry/ showcase software, apps, projects, content, systems and standards that are just as awesome as @OSM, to help attain #SDG|s.

@openstreetmap@a.gup.pe is in good company. 🎉

I agree. It's typical in OSM to use a generic "yes" when a mapper isn't sure about the "right" value just yet, and get back to it later, or maybe the next mapper can figure out a better value.

That's a specific case when I find the image=*, or mapillary=* tags and the like, very helpful. Usually, these are used to tell other mappers what the previous mapper saw from the photo.

In JOSM these are turned into links you can view, but not sure how it works in iD.

And EveryDoor has an existing issue with certain features (e.g. memorial plaques) getting unwantedly snapped on nearby buildings.

Hahaha. I think, the only messaging platform where I haven't gotten any spam is #Signal. 🤞🏼

Try OsmApp 0. It normally would try to open the map near you, or browse the region you're interested in.

It supports search-as-you-type, so start typing "public bookcase" -- and even before you get to finish typing that phrase, you should be able to select a "Public Bookcase" category, and that should give you some interesting results.

@Mannivu

I agree that it could be used for initial mapping, and interpolation makes it "work" in some fashion -- at the very least, one gets close enough to the area you want to.

That's slightly better than having no mapped addresses, or mapping individual address POIs, without interpolation.

@openstreetmap

I just learned that apart from the official meaning of "Gora" cited in the original toot, apparently, it appears to be a nod towards the argot of the @pinoy #LGBQT community, meaning "Let's go."

@pietervdvn

I'm looking for an (easy-to-use) app that can work with FieldPapers tiles.

@strypey

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.

Acastus Photon, maybe?
