Street Complete is quite dysfunctional for me. I just get a beige background with icons (+) (-) (ø) ≡. Long tapping gives:
- create new note
- create new track recording
- open location in another app
There is no way to specify a location to edit. If I go online and turn on GPS, the screen fills with questions to answer but still no map.
How do I get a map?
How do I specify a location to go to?
Sir, this is a Wendy’s…
Wait, no. Uh, StreetComplete is an editor for OpenStreetMap. These are used to update the OSM (OpenStreetMap) data.
There are other editors too like:
If you want navigation (directions to go somewhere), those are different apps:
The OSM StreetComplete is a mobile editor designed to make it easy to make updates to OSM. Therefore, easy means the edits are much more constrained, especially to your local area. If you want full editing power, you need a powerful editor like JOSM.
If you want directions, then you need OsmAnd or Organic Maps.
I appreciate the info. JOSM is java which gives me issues. OSM’s website is Cloudflare (a non-starter for me… I won’t touch Cloudflare). I did not know about rapideditor.org, so I’ll have to check that out.
Gottcha.
FYI, rapideditor.org is made by Facebook… :( which may or may not be a deal breaker.
Also, here’s a list of a bunch of editors: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_editors
I saw there is one based on Qt. Maybe that could be a viable alternative to the Java one. I haven’t tried it though.
