Thank you for the information. Frankly I heard about Vespucci, but I was
not sure what this app does. Now I will definitively give Vespucci a
try. It is much better to have two or more excellent mobile maps and
editors than none.
Best regards,

The problem is not with people that know what the conceptual trade-offs
are and if they so want could generate a more current map. That know

I'm using Go Map for quick editing on the go. It's only available for IOS
though: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!!
It's pretty much as powerful as iD (at least to my knowledge, I never use
iD for anything more complicated than adding poi's or changing tag values)
and pretty easy to use

I've been using Maps.me myself and find it easy to add shops - although
I'm missing many presets (I change them when I come home to the right
one but other users will not do that generally).
Maps.me was perfect for one activity that is usually painful - updating

Hi folks,
I'd like to invite you to virtual mapping party - a mapathon - happening
