 From evidence of the edits I'm still to be convinced as to the 
usefulness of these smart phone devices. Often inaccurate & unclear 
(Navmii) or unable to recognise entities mapped as polygons & limit 
presets. (MAPS.ME & others)

A _very_ experienced mapper recently added POIs to places already mapped 
as closed ways:
"I was testing out MAPS.ME yesterday while out and about. But it's a bit 
limiting. Clearly I needed a shop=tea preset for example!"
