[OSM-talk-be] New user OsmAnd_Pieter - continued

[Wouter Hamelinck]

Andre,

What do you mean by adding a POI without updating the map? I've never used
Osmand and have troubles imagining how that works.

It is possible to indicate how the update was made. If you open the last
changeset of the user in question (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/20086153) you will see that it is
tagged "created_by=iD 1.5.3". The same for all changesets of this user that
I checked. That is why I assume he uses iD (the standard editor you get
when you click "Edit" on the main map). If Osmand puts that tag, it is a
bug. But as long as there is no proof of it I would wait with a bugreport.
Here there is no proof, only a suggestive username.

Marc,

Thank you for pointing out that JOSM shows a popup when you have a message.
I didn't know that. I'm clearly not getting a lot of messages from you guys.

Glenn,

Same answer as always I'm afraid. Try to contact the user, but if the user
doesn't respond there is not much you can do but correcting the errors of
others. It has happened many times before and it will happen again in the
future.
