<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Maps.me editor has got the principal
difference from other editors, - it can be used without an active
Internet connection. It means it is possible now to map in
wilderness, in mountains, while traveling without worrying about
roaming fees. Couple of years ago I used the Google maps on
smartphone for several minutes to find an address in Milan and
paid later an equivalent of 400 USD of roaming charges.<br>
<br>
Facebook is completely internationalized. One can use Facebook in
113 (!) languages. Facebook users after signing into Maps.me
Editor with their Facebook credentials, probably, also expect a
seamless exhaustive internationalization, which is not the case
for any world map yet at all. But they may not know it and keep
using one of those 113 languages unsuspectingly for mapping too.
We were already informed that Maps.me will address this linguistic
issue in future releases.<br>

<div>Many of these are newbie errors, the same as we see with any
other editor however the big difference I see with maps.me is
the apparent lack of reaction to changeset comments that allow
the community to help newbies through their initial edits. When
adding comments to maps.me changesets I do get the feeling I am
wasting my time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another observation I see is the geographical spread of
edits, a bar in Portugal followed by a guest house in the UK
about the local knowledge of what they are adding.</div>
