Gottcha.

FYI, rapideditor.org is made by Facebook… :( which may or may not be a deal breaker.

Also, here’s a list of a bunch of editors: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_editors

I saw there is one based on Qt. Maybe that could be a viable alternative to the Java one. I haven’t tried it though.

My Pixel 9 with stock Android seems to handle OsmAnd fine. Otherwise, I wonder if Organic Maps might be lighter weight.

Great ideas!

Make them a reality right meow!

1. Create an account on https://www.openstreetmap.org/
2. Navigate to the ATMs on the map in the browser
3. Click edit
4. Click the ATMs (or just 1 to start)
5. Update the metadata text fields
6. Press save
7. Party! 🥳

After a while, you may want to use a more powerful editor. JOSM is a popular desktop editor that’s kinda scary, but powerful to use.

After you make the edits, you’ll have to wait between 1 hour and 1 month for the maps to be updated. If you have OsmAnd ProPlusMax or whatever, then you get hourly updates. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait a month.

And the great news is that not just OsmAnd will get your map updates. Other apps that use OSM data will get the updates too. Thanks!

Sir, this is a Wendy’s…

Wait, no. Uh, StreetComplete is an editor for OpenStreetMap. These are used to update the OSM (OpenStreetMap) data.

There are other editors too like:

• JOSM https://josm.openstreetmap.de/
• iD https://www.openstreetmap.org/ (the edit button)
• Rapid https://rapideditor.org/

If you want navigation (directions to go somewhere), those are different apps:

• OsmAnd https://osmand.net/ (you are here)
• Organic Maps https://organicmaps.app/

The OSM StreetComplete is a mobile editor designed to make it easy to make updates to OSM. Therefore, easy means the edits are much more constrained, especially to your local area. If you want full editing power, you need a powerful editor like JOSM.

If you want directions, then you need OsmAnd or Organic Maps.

Two things I’ve recently discovered:

1. The data simply isn’t there. One of the reasons you can’t find address is because nobody has entered them to OpenStreetMap.
2. OsmAnd search isn’t good or intuitive. For the few places that do have addresses, you’ll have to search for them in a very specific format: $CITY $STREET $NUMBER

If you want to contribute addresses you know to OpenStreetMap create an account here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/

Once you create an account, you’ll be able to use editors to update the map.

Editors include:

• https://www.openstreetmap.org/ (the edit button on the webpage, this editor is called iD)
• https://rapideditor.org/ (made by facebook… very similar to iD)
• https://streetcomplete.app/ (for your phone, easier to enter small bits of info)
• https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ (full fledged, industrial desktop editor)

After you update the map, you’ll have to wait somewhere between 1 hour to 1 month for updates to propagate to different apps. OsmAnd has a pro tier that gets hourly map updates… although… I’m not sure if address data is included in those map updates or just other things like buildings…

yay simplifies the AUR installation

Simple to me means not having to install some random extra tool and just using pacman like normal. That’s why I grumble.

LOL! You caught that! I vaguely remember seeing that somewhere? Was it on the Simpsons trivia episode? 30 years later, I still remember that, but I couldn’t tell you the equation to draw a line… 😅

I like package managers just fine. I don’t want to have to have a plurality of software management tools.

Same. I grumble when I have to install things through the AUR. I’d prefer if it was in the official repos.

can continue to blissfully ignore

That’s what I’ve been doing. I haven’t run into a situation where I’ve needed to mess with Flatpak. 🤷 Curious to hear other folk’s experiences though.

Also for your consideration, Flatpak seems to be mainly used for desktop GUI apps. You’ll still need your regular package manager to install CLIs. So… if you wanna keep your software management tools to a minimum…

LOL! Here. First try! 😹

At one point in my career I cared about what I did and who I worked for I felt pride over my product and my team, and all I feel now is shame to be associated with my company, I feel disgusted with myself that I work not for my customers but for shareholder value.

This tracks with my experience here as well.

keep my job and not get layed off.

For me, it seems like falling in line and kissing the ring is more important than showing ability, if you want to avoid being laid off. At a previous job, I got laid off before my very noob coworker who took months to complete PRs because I wouldn’t shut my mouth about RTO.

a meritocracy

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 Never has been.

TIL about user lingering. Interesting.

but I’ve heard these days it’s not unusual to tip up to 40%!

That seems pretty unusual to me.

I normally tip 20%.

Basically, we gotta get outside and protest more.

Quick review after using JOSM for 2 days:

It’s not so bad. It takes a little bit of effort to learn, but definitely has more powerful features. Also, it does feel faster to navigate around the map compared to the web versions. 👍

The intro page was actually helpful to get me started: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Introduction

Apparently, Floorp is another Firefox fork. Has anyone tried this?

OK! You’ve had 1 hour to check them out. :D What’s the difference between the two? They’re both Firefox forks, right?

Agh. Paywall.

Gaaah! Wait! What’s the answer?? Sometimes I click that square, but other random times I don’t.

Quick review after installing JOSM.

Wow. OK. I can totally see why only 6.9% of users use JOSM for making edits. It’s clunky, hard to use, and absolutely daunting for new users. For people making their first contributions, the browser editors are way more user friendly.

That being said, the other half of that statistic is interesting.

In 2024 it was used by 6.9% users, but they made 59.1% of all edits.

All right. JOSM seems to have some pretty passionate users. Thank you for your service. 🫡

I’ll take some time to learn it.

Por qué no sale Mujico!? Claramente esto tiene que ser un error!

Ah… bueno… por eso…
