Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!

This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.

The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.

Seems like there is no way to add new nodes. There is a bus stop near me that's not marked at all on OSM and i can't see any way to add it

Yeah, it's made more for refining and confirming details than for adding entirely new objects.

When I want to add something that's not on the map yet, I either add a note in StreetComplete and come back to it later on my computer, or I add it using Vespucci. (I've been known to add items using Vespucci, then reload the data on StreetComplete so I can fill in details that aren't in the presets and that I can't remember how to tag manually!)

Vespucci

Saved you a search.

I add stuff in OSMAnd. But StreetComplete is easier for, err, completing data on what's already there.

How do you that in OSMAnd? Would love to collaborate.

Go to Plugins. Enable "OpenStreetMaps Editing" and login.

Now just long-tap anywhere on the map and choose Actions -> Create POI

Install the OpenStreetMap plugin.
