One of the things I like about German street maps is that they mark trams and buses. Even stops. Even stop names (sometimes). I got a text from my partner asking "arrived Wuerzburg; what number bus do I get for Veitshoechheim?" and I found out, found the correct stop, and could give precise directi

Preventing the problem in future: Would there be a way of putting a user like Liam123 into a sandbox? So that they think they're editing the map, but the updates don't get applied to the live map. Another method (which might be easier to implement) is to automatically detect and revert any upda
