As the offline maps provided by <a href="http://maps.me">maps.me</a> are only updated "with almost every new release" (<a href="http://maps.me/en/help">http://maps.me/en/help</a>), there is a possible problem of duplication. A question has been asked here about it: <a href="https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/2953">https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/2953</a>. The answer from <a href="http://maps.me">maps.me</a> addresses only the problem of accuracy (which is another one) not the problem of duplication. I already encountered both problems (one including the modification of a POI name to replace it with something wrong).<br><br></div><div>A lot of people started using <a href="http://maps.me">maps.me</a> -- BTW a great app which allows to promote nicely OSM --- or similar applications, and probably more people will use it in a near future. This could lead to the need of a quite heavy maintenance (mostly for the POIs) for (local) OSM contributors as these edits are quite difficult to track (1 modification = 1 changeset). Is there a way to link all these communities of users/contributors together in order to benefit to the map?<br><br>I would be glad to have your opinion on this.<br><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div>Eric<br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 May 2016 at 07:54, Paul Johnson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:baloo@ursamundi.org" target="_blank">baloo@ursamundi.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 5:16 PM, Deanna Earley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dee@earlsoft.co.uk" target="_blank">dee@earlsoft.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I'm also in discussion with Navmii themselves to try and get them to<br>

I don't recall encountering these notes myself, but the inability to close the communications loop is a big factor in what made <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapDust" target="_blank">Mapdust</a> a nearly unmitigated failure (the biggest mitigating factor is that you can see a snippet to see what the routing engine was thinking, where the user was traveling and a category, so there was the possibility of getting some high quality feedback for surprisingly minimal effort from real people using it instead of map nerds).</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
