I use @openstreetmap a lot, via #OSMAnd+, and I’d love to give back to the map commons. The biggest problems I see are not with the basic data (streets etc), since the NZ govt’s own map data is released under CC license, and updates to it are quickly imported into #OSM.
Rather what I see is outdated info about what can be found at a given address. Any advice of helping to update that kind of data? Is it part of OSM or other data commons used by OSMAnd+?
@strypey @MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor its all OSM data. Havent tried OSM Go yet, but can recommend streetcomplete and every door.

Are these available on F-Droid?
@MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor
@strypey @MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor they are. there is although SCEE (Street complete Extended Edition) that allows for a lot more tags to be edited and some more nifty customization options. Its on F-Droid too.

This sounds powerful. Would you recommend it for a beginner?
@MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor
@strypey @MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor if you haven’t contributed to osm at all i recommend starting out with street complete get a little feel for what data can be atatched to what kind of nodes.
would recommend https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_guide anyways, no matter what way you want to contribute by.
if you are willing to do a bit of reading in the wiki, i like the editing plugin for OsmAnd, there you can add some other tags that are not implemented in SC (yet) on the road, i addition to SC.

Thanks, I’ll have a look. Having editing it in the map app I already use sounds good.
@MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor
@strypey @MapAmore @openstreetmap @everydoor but everydoor should be able to take this roll too. and its a little bit smoother in the workflow than the OsmAnd plugin. I didnt know about everydoor back when i started and got quite used to the OsmAnd way.
