Great app. There is also https://every-door.app/ https://every-door.app/ that gives you slightly different set of tasks and allows you to place POI easily. I recently mapped a lot of trash cans and benches around my neighborhood while walking with my dog.
- Ajedi32 3mo agoStreetComplete lets you place trash cans and benches too (among other things) using the "Things" overlay. IMO Every Door has a much more complicated UI, though it's also more of a full featured editor than StreetComplete. (Though still less so than something like Vespucci.)
- TeddyDD 3mo agoEach to their own, I use both for different things, I like EveryDoor UI better for placing POIs.
- mrpeek 3mo agoIs this better than GoMap?
- progbits 3mo agoThank you! Is that a new feature? I have over a thousand contributions on StreetComplete (casually using it during walks) and somehow I never noticed that button.
- ygra 3mo agoThe overlays are intentionally a bit hidden, since they're more of a power-user feature and I appreciate that StreetComplete retains beginner-friendliness as a core tenet. But the overlays are indeed awesome for survey-type walks where you just want to make sure that all sidewalks are mapped correctly, or to see which shops are still missing.
- Ajedi32 3mo agoSort of. It was added in 2023. (https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/pull/5373 https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/pull/5373)
- didip 3mo agooooo what a fantastic idea. I have always wanted to map as many clothes donation boxes as possible.
- ndriscoll 3mo agoYou can do that, little free libraries, water fountains, etc. all in StreetComplete as well.
- lapetitejort 3mo agoThe amount things you can map in OSM is impressive. However I ran into two things that have no formal tags: time capsules (historic=time_capsule), and camera obscuras (camera_type=obscura). You can add the values, but they are not official. Time capsule is in the work [0]. [0]: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Time_capsule https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Time_capsule

- deckar01 3mo agoThe UX is really bad. POI loading is taking 10+ seconds to update, then any zoom or pan reorders the list of locations. Most of the missing info (around me) is just phone numbers and hours of operation, which are boring and should be trivial to collect automatically.
- jllyhill 3mo agoThe thing is that the best way to get the phones and opening hours is to walk in person and look them up. Any source for the automated collection is way more likely to be outdated/wrong than what the sign or the person behind the counter tells you. And can also have non-permissive license not compatible with the OSM license.
- jorvi 3mo agoRaw Information cannot be licensed, and I am not sure why OSM sticks to the policy that it can. Google Maps does not hold the rights to which opening hours Bob's Bakery keeps. If someone entered them from Bob's Bakery their site onto Maps, you are free to type it off of Maps onto OSM. Legally anyway. OSM themselves still hold the policy you can't, so you should adhere to that.

- bluGill 3mo agoOf Google is wrong and you copy that is illegal since wrong things are not facts and thus can be copyright
- jampekka 3mo agoI wouldn't be surprised if Google’s lawyer army could explain to some Google-paid arbitrator how it’s in their interest to find that such behavior violates Google’s database copyright under legislation of Google’s choosing.
