Points of interest and amenities are probably the next most useful. Things like street lighting and sidewalks quite helpful for pedestrians. It’s more important that you are still enjoying mapping. If there is something that you know is useful but you find tedious it’s ok to skip it and either leave it for someone else or come back to it later
As it sounds like you’re on Android, I’d recommend @streetcomplete for easily adding detail while on the go.
@Sir_Kevin if it’s your own data you probably qualify for the contributors program if you don’t want to help fund development.
@Sir_Kevin
The F-droid version is unofficial so they’re unlikely to have an answer to that.

I think it was something like £2 when I bought it. Now it’s £39.99⁉️

They also have a €3/month subscription for ‘hourly’ map updates (and some cloud sync to compensate for Android getting worse).

But is it getting very slow these days. Especially with hourly updates turned on.

Their privacy policy is here:

It also looks to the tile providers privacy policy.
Only F-Droid would take the stated purpose of an app and warn you about it as an anti-feature, but here we are.
@paequ2 It has been so long since I started using JOSM that I don’t really know what’s tutorials are the best. HOT did a two minute introduction to building tracing that’s linked from the wiki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcKewl94jR4 (skip the HOT specific bit)
LearnOSM has a longer written introduction to JOSM here: https://learnosm.org/en/josm/
@Koreller did a very good collection of GIFs suggesting efficient ways to trace buildings with the building tools plugin here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Koreller/diary/404988
@pietervdvn @mdione If you’re replying to a reply it sometimes helps to add @openstreetmap to the toot to make sure it gets propagated properly by lemmy.
(although probably not this time as I’m replying to a lemmy.ml account)
Makes you wonder what people are thinking.
So many rounded corners and buildings with notched taken out of them when they clearly just have a tree over a bit of the building.
@RealFknNito @vatlark @openstreetmap
It caused a lot of fake stuff to be added to OSM even though its update frequency was slow enough that very little of the fake stuff actually made it into Pokemon Go.
I think it did bring in a few good mappers too though so it wasn’t all bad.
@przmk
They’re both vector based. Purely from usage it feels like OsmAnd is rerendering everything from scratch every time with little caching. If you pan away and pan back it takes effectively the same amount of time to recreate the previously rendered view as a fresh view. This time seems to increase with addition obfs for “live” updates etc.
When Organic Maps updates slowly it tends to feel like vector tiles “falling back” to lower zoom until more detail is retrieved.
