Yes I was.

In the current state they are useless for showing the images, but it might be better to keep them temporarily and use the changeset information to contact the original 'uploader' and see if they'd be willing to upload via e.g. @MapComplete (who have a @panoramax instance now).

iD should not be allowing the creation of these so I think someone should open a bug report if it isn't already fixed.

That looks like something that should work in an HTML <img > tag, but doesn't. Maybe it has been truncated?

@palitu

It does have QuickOSM, but its only pre-made style is a bit rudimentary.

As I understand it Maeritive does a decent OSM based map really easily.

QGIS can only do it after a tonne of work.

@uninvitedguest @shoobs ooh, I didn't realise there was source available

Now that StreetComplete has overlay layers for places and things you can add most of the thing you'd want to add in person.

I know the author has already mentioned it, but MapComplete.org might be a good site to look at if you're just starting and have local knowledge of an area. I know in my early days mapping that just looking at a list of map features would remind me about places that I've know about forever and never thought to put on a map. The MapComplete themes might have some obvious omissions that you can fix quickly.

Apple Maps uses OpenStreetMap data on n some countries.

IIRC At one point Google Maps would let you download a map for browsing, but you couldn't do offline navigation. Don't know if that's still the case.

Organic Maps does the routing on the device.

No, this is against Google TOS and OpenStreetMap policy on data sources and the Data Working Group will step in and block any accounts doing this to protect the project as a whole.

@als @Adderbox76 @openstreetmap

I suspect that's because if you read the post it looks like OP is a beginner and not an experienced editor.

Vespucci, JOSM and level0 aren't getting mentioned either because they aren't the best starting points.

@thibaultmol @unknowing8343 @openstreetmap

Maybe, but they also seem to be making intermediate standards to make it easier to wean themselves off OSM.

It's not clear yet if that is actually a goal or a side effect.
