Hi, About first 2 tools:
1. what they do as result exactly? add data to OSM database? If yes, then under which username? I don’t see any auth here, is feels like “anonymous editor”, but OSM does not allow anonymous edits. 2. about second one - map view is too much zoomed in, usually I don’t see any streets to see the context, so it is really like filling random captchas without any real check. In general I miss here location filters, I want only work with my home city/village what I know about. Generally “guerilla mapping” where you jump in to a random place you really know nothing about is not generating good map quality in long term at all, and this not suggested. If you map something, then you will be responsible for the data and you need to be sure that it will be also up-to-date in years to come. Especially if you do random map copy, in principle here we just copy maa-amet map which does not give much value, everyone could just use maaamet vector map data, this is openly shared also. Remote mapping is suggested only for exceptional cases, e.g. in emergencies (HOT actions) where you need quickly map and cannot go to the place. But the tools can be very useful - I would use them for my known, usually quite small specific regions like city or village. I can do ground work and will maintain my edits later, and I cannot do it if mapping area is whole country.
