[OSM-talk] Streetcomplete
Hi everyone, Since I am daily on the street for work. I improve the maps, using Streetcomplete. Last week, I needed to give my mobile a factory reset. Since then, the app is giving an error, getting the autorisation from osm: "All listed Permissions need to be granted." If I check in osm it states that Streetcomplete is autorised. Enyone a clue what might be the problem and solution? Grt. Alert ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Street Complete
I agree for improvements, but here you can discuss the sense or nonsense of a feature in an app. The Github is not the place for a discussion. I think, you can ask yourself why you need to add surface to a street. For the UK you can count that streets are paved, but that doesn't count for a lot of countries.

Re: [OSM-talk] Street Complete
I am not sure, since I didn't build the app, but my experience is that it download the quests of the direct area in a range of 1 km or so, witch means, you need a working data connection, be it WiFi or 3/4G. The upload of your answers will happen when you get a data connection, until then it will be stored. Op 11 jun. 2017 00:06 schreef "john whelan" : > >It is the same issue.

My stereo type is that if an urbanite runs into a dirt road they usually tag it as a track. I laughed when I came a cross dirt road that was silky smooth and could comfortably fit three semi-tractor trailers as a highway=track. Or there is the well maintained AZ 88[1] that was downgraded to unclassified from tertiary[2] presumably because the road is unpaved. There are mile markers, a state ref number, and at least one hotel. I've used a number of these phone applications. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Pick one or more to meet your mapping needs. In the case of StreetComplete I thought that the whole point of the application was to read OSM data; ask a few questions; and change the map. There's another weakness of the application. Every location is not covered by cellular networks.

[OSM-talk] Streetview
Dear Friends, I know that it is not allowed to use Google Maps to "copy" streetnames, but my question is: is it allowed to use Google streetview to check streetnames by checking the photo's for streetname signs? That way I am not just copying but do a kind of survey through picture material. What are your ideas about this?
