  • SC redownloads map data if it is over 12 hours old on your device, so you’re likely seeing up to date information. And you can always download manually in an area to see the absolute freshest data, if you think that’s necessary.

    Organic Maps doesn’t update the data nearly as often, as it’s not really meant for editing. That being said, unless you are in a busy area, the chances of a fellow mapper already having submitted that data since the last update in OM is slim.

    At the end of the day, you should just do what is convenient for you and allows you to contribute easier.









  • Ah! I would assume the imported sources were decent enough, at least!

    I think mapping them might be decent with SCEE. (Might be in normal StreetComplete as well.) You have to enable the quest type as it is disabled by default, but then it offers the quest and even displays recently used values.

    That is if you know your stuff, me I would have to have a tree identification book in my other hand, so I guess a specialized app with that functionality would be neat.












  • Every edit will have your username on it. If you edit a lot in certain areas, one might guess that you live/work around there. Other than that, I doubt there are any such considerations.

    Some apps allow uploading photos when making a note. These services may not clear some of the metadata, though geolocation is already obvious from the note itself.
