Oddbean new post about login | logout We are looking for better UX ideas on how to tell our new users about OpenStreetMap and teach them to add/edit map data in osm.org instead of complaining to us. Please share your thoughts in this Github issue: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/5686
@d7f4cce1 i'd suggest updating this screen to something like this: > [Beautiful new icon with ? on a map] > We haven't found a location matching this name. > Our app uses community driven data from OpenStreetMap project, and you can add missing place after you log in with osm account > Read more about adding new place here ... https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/182/557/260/067/785/original/e7f07be9ea72b1f7.png
@d7f4cce1 I made a street name correction to OSM and the correction was quickly picked up by both Google and Apple. So I definitely see the value with this. I could see a process of defining a type of change better (“add” verses “correct”), and that the change is in fact something that will be seen globally and not just on our own device. Seems subtle, but a don’t think folks understand how much they can really contribute to OSM.
@d7f4cce1 one of these on every screen that might have results? (pardon my ignorance if app already does) https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/185/075/176/009/820/original/e1fa6d6a6bca7acf.png
