For example, there's nothing wrong in the OSM map data with the Marquam Bridge in Portland, but you literally have to pay me to use that bridge instead of the Fremont Bridge, because Oregon mile 301 is hands down the worst single mile on the entire 1,381 mile interstate. It's something that would be nice to Set and Forget, because unless you're a drunken oil barron or Bill Gates starts getting really crazy with his money (or it's Bridge Pedal weekend and it's only open to bikes), odds are you're not getting me to drive or bike across that bridge, ever.

It makes live mapping a trip as a passenger excessively difficult and solo essentially impossible even using speech-to-text. This problem's only been getting worse and worse over time, and every time it gets harder to open a note for the current location accurately, the fewer good notes we get from osmand users. This actually makes the OSM Editing plugin *less useful*. Heck, even a checkbox option buried in the plugin that tosses a button to the main screen that instantly brings you to the osm note dialogue assuming you mean the spot you're presently on, would be a massive improvement, even if off by default. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
