https://every-door.app/ is very usable for quick edits, Go Map!! has a steeper learning curve.

Are you aware of https://mapcomplete.org/ ? Web-based and thematically focused.

One of the great things about StreetComplete is that it works perfectly offline.

Yes, you can do that, but the use-case here is different.

We collaboratively wrote some code that we want/have to submit to a journal for a manuscript. The journal wants to have an anonymized version of the code. Since the code contains comments with the name of collaborators and other identifying data (drive name, etc.) that has to be anonymized for the submission (and will be open eventually), we can `sed` all this out, but this service does that automatically, with a nice web-view of the code like GitHub.


Not mine, but found that via a search engine. I had to submit code to a journal doing double-blind review, this site made that easily possible.


OsmAnd is also available on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/osmand-maps-travel-navigate/id... CoMap also offers offline access to OpenStreetMap data: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/comaps/id6747180809


> However I ran into two things that have no formal tags:

You can use https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like on OpenStreetMap. Many of the used tags are simply "in use" and not formalized with a proposal.


There are many apps for editing OSM on iOS: https://osm-apps.org/?platforms=iOS

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!! also has some kind of 'quests' built in, and the StreetComplete is planning to porting SC to iOS: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421


> I found out that there is a cap

A cap for downloading rendered tiles from osm.org? That exists, but is quite generous.

Other (free) options are https://openfreemap.org/ or https://versatiles.org/ to generate your own tiles.


Very nitpick, but you might need to ask for exemption by the OpenStreetMap foundation for using such a name: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy#4._Special_u...


Looking good and fun. As an avid OpenStreetMap contributor I'm a bit bummed that you're calling this "Google Maps and Need for Speed".
