  • You need a quest for the way you want to add stairs to. Then when answering you select the other option (“Äh…”) different along the way (“entlang des weges unterschiedlich”). Now you can zoom in and split the way. Split it where the first and where the last step of the stairs is. Now you made three ways out of the one. The middle way should be the stairs. A quest should be ready to be answered for the way part to be stairs. Select this quest and go to other answers (“Äh…”) and select the option is actually steps (“Das ist eine Treppe”). Now you changed the way part to be stairs.



  • Yes, this is one way. But you can use StreetComplete’s overlay feature (since release https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/releases/tag/v57.0) to directly add benches and trash cans. This helps in avoiding to flood the note system with very small map features. When the overlay feature was not implemented i also added a lot of notes for benches/bins, but got a lot attention of other mappers because of this. So i switched to using OSMTracker to take notes. But now, i am a very happy user of the new things overlay.

    Adding stairs is also possible, but a bit more complicated, so adding a note is fine.

    Do you know this overlay feature already? This is definitely worth to check out.


  • I have got a second one mainly for mapping, because i want to use a stylus during cold winter (with gloves) and hot summer with sweaty fingers. I hate touch inputs and with the stylus it works easier. This phone also has an SD card slot for all the different map apps, their map data and the OsmTracker photos.













  • I think there are people who have not the choice of their OS, but for them it is interesting to know about this possibility. It’s also a warning to Linux app developers, that maybe Windows users will raise bugs in future. This is a discussion which has no final yes or no - except you want to stay in your silo. Maybe a Linux-only community would be helpful then.

    The topic of the article is about Linux GUI apps. From the community description I cannot see why it does not fit here. And yes, the other way round i would agree to post wine news also to the Windows community if Windows apps are the affected.

    I do not think it is possible. Already for registering you need an account from FB, Google or OSM. If you create an account solely for logging in into KartaView, i think it’s kinda possible.

    Photo metadata, you mean EXIF data? This is used and not removed AFAIK. License plates and faces (if any can be seen on a photo) are blurred during the processing step.
