For some reason despite not owning one I have alot of interaction with Canal Boaters.

They are always interested in information about places and services along canals and I was trying to think of the best way of explaining how the contribute and use Openstreetmap

Of course contributing is easy - I just recommend mapcomplete.org, everydoor app, and street complete (less so as its road related)

And then I recommend an App like OSMAnd to use Openstreetmap - But for Canal Boaters specifically - Is there any way they could use layers or searches, any tips, tricks or Apps specifically get information that would be useful for them or be useful if in a canal boat?

    Would you mind on elaborating how you would expect it to work?

      @pietervdvn When I wrote that I’d got stuck trying to add questions _into_ the title. Which obviously went very badly.

      I ended up looking at another example to see where the various bits of information were meant to go and then got the hang of it a bit more.

      I also ran into some things where I thought I was completely misunderstanding another thing and it turned out to be a weird bug. I’ve typed up the one I could reproduce, but I also had e.g. 'TypeError: s[h[1]] is undefined"
