Maps.me editor has got the principal difference from other editors, - it
can be used without an active Internet connection. It means it is
possible now to map in wilderness, in mountains, while traveling without
worrying about roaming fees. Couple of years ago I used the Google maps
on smartphone for several minutes to find an address in Milan and paid
later an equivalent of 400 USD of roaming charges.
Facebook is completely internationalized. One can use Facebook in 113
(!) languages. Facebook users after signing into Maps.me Editor with
their Facebook credentials, probably, also expect a seamless exhaustive
internationalization, which is not the case for any world map yet at
all. But they may not know it and keep using one of those 113 languages
unsuspectingly for mapping too. We were already informed that Maps.me
will address this linguistic issue in future releases.
Best regards,

Many of these are newbie errors, the same as we see with any other
editor however the big difference I see with maps.me is the apparent
lack of reaction to changeset comments that allow the community to
help newbies through their initial edits. When adding comments to
maps.me changesets I do get the feeling I am wasting my time.
Another observation I see is the geographical spread of edits, a bar
in Portugal followed by a guest house in the UK about the local
knowledge of what they are adding.
