See

https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/4819

and the links from there including one for exactly the same problem that 
was "closed fixed" for a UI change that never happened.


There are many, many other similar issues in there too.

Cheers,

Andy

That's a definite usability issue in their application (to say nothing of
an annoyance to OSM mappers downstream). Is it possible to raise it with
them as a bug?

I found out for my self that duplicate notes are easy to create on
Saturday. I was in Bridgnorth for a few beers with my mate, and before
that had had a walk around doing some mapping.

I managed to create 4 notes instead of one due to the interface.
Initially I had wanted to add a category to a building, in this case a
theatre. Maps.me didn't allow that so I added a note.

Touching the tick had apparently no effect (no animation or screen
change), so I assumed it hadn't registered and tried again. It was only
when I looked at the IRC channel and saw the 4 notes I realised what I
had done.

I don't think it's possible to delete an object in Maps.me. When you 
edit a place, after all the other details the option at the bottom is 
"place does not exist", which presumably leaves a note and comment.


With the complaints people have about Maps.me, just imagine how many 
more there would be if places could be deleted from within the app.

They are all for the same entity.

How can we stop this annoying repetition? Can it be blocked at OSM's end,
contact individual users or, better still, get it blocked at source? Does
anyone have a contact at Map.me?

I wonder if this could be down to a simple misunderstanding of the
Map.me UI. As far as the user is concerned he's stated that an object
on the map no longer exists. He may not be aware this his action is
adding a note rather than deleting the object immediately. So when the
object stays on the map, he assumes his action has failed for
technical reasons, and so tries again.

Robert.

Exactly that I think - feel free to pitch in on 
https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/4819 and related issues.

I wonder if this could be down to a simple misunderstanding of the
Map.me UI. As far as the user is concerned he's stated that an object
on the map no longer exists. He may not be aware this his action is
adding a note rather than deleting the object immediately. So when the
object stays on the map, he assumes his action has failed for
technical reasons, and so tries again.
