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

    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."

    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.

    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. 🤞

    A nearby city call these crossings as "Gora¹ Lanes", an attempt to make walking fun, attractive, and accessible to more people.

    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.

    When mapping street addresses in #OpenStreetMap, the minimum tag you probably need is addr:housenumber and addr:street, or maybe addr:place.

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

    Have you been receiving unsolicited messages in your #OpenStreetMap inbox?

    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.

    Apart from the @vespucci_editor and @osmandapp , do you know of any other mobile #OpenStreetMap editor that supports custom tile layers?

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

    When editing #OpenStreetMap on the go, @everydoor is my hands-down favorite, but I'd hesitate recommending it for more new mappers.

    If you're an #OpenStreetMap contributor, and active in the #Fediverse, where do you check for unexpected downtimes?
