You can see, edit and close notes on https://Mapcomplete.org/notes . You can also edit the map and add new points with MapComplete as well, within many thematic maps.

That depends on local tagging preferences.

(For the non-canadians, it would help to have an image linked, e.g. on Mapillary or maybe Geovisio/Panoramax.)

Also: a warm welcome to the canadian Lemmy-community!

There is no good, only "good for".

OsmAnd and Organic Maps are both tools to solve different problems in a different way. For some usecases and users, one will be better then the other.

But: OsmAnd also improved their UX a lot in the past few years, so that helps!

Yes. I'm mostly developing a website, and testing on another browser is necessary every now and then. But that is my only use reason.

My main browser used to be firefox till tw9 weeks qgo, but it started to be buggy so it's LibreWolf now.

Well, please give it a shot then! 9ne can write a script that does this maintainence automatically.

Even then, it should be resurveyed as the road closure might have ended sooner or might be delayed. It's the resurveying that is the tricky part.

If someone wanted to add data, they would be more likely to deal with a slightly unfamiliar UI.

No. Many people are interested in adding bits of map data, but are scared by confusing UI. That is pretty much the point of mapcomplete. For example, some emergency response rooms in Belgium have added AEDs precisely because it is simple to use. They won't bother to deal with JOSM or even iD!

It is gonna take a long time. We had a contributor (lodde1949) who drew pretty much all (!) the landuse of Flanders over the course of several years. We suspect he was an older person who did this like 8 days an hour, until he suddenly stopped. In any case, they never responded to our messages, so we have no idea who this person actually is (or was).
