[OSM-talk] MAPS.ME edits - partly sub-standard

[Andreas Vilén]

I'm using Go Map for quick editing on the go. It's only available for IOS
though: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!!

It's pretty much as powerful as iD (at least to my knowledge, I never use
iD for anything more complicated than adding poi's or changing tag values)
and pretty easy to use for smaller edits, or for example adding a shop or
street name on the go.
