[OSM-talk] finding drinking water with an Android app

[Maarten Deen]

Less than a second to something usable? Sure, it displays the O logo 
within a second, but on my phone (quad core 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex A7) it 
takes about 10 seconds to get to anything usable.

And about the OSM quality... There is one drinking water POI mapped near 
to me, but I hardly think that's an official public tap. I rather 
suspect that's someone's home garden tap.
Well, it would do the job I guess ;)
