Hi all! We launched Scout for iOS powered by OpenStreetMap a little over a month ago now, followed by the Android version in early June. While the feedback in general has been overwhelmingly positive, I am really curious to hear about your experiences. Have you tried Scout? What are your

Martijn, I like it so far! It is hard to part ways with Waze but I do like that the Scout data is all OSM. Question, I occasionally get some weird routing. Is there a good place to discuss these things? Here, twitter, etc? Elliott On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 3:15 PM, Martijn van Exel

Although I don't use it for navigation purposes, it is very cool to have an OSM routing application in my pocket. The ability to play around with an OSM routing engine so easily has caused me to: 1) Identify and fix roads OSM believes are connected that are in fact not and remove them 2) Identify
