Unfortunately most of the species tagged trees are mass imported and not mapped by a real mapper.

I try often to map species or genus but there is no good mobile app for this task yet.

And here is the chart to follow the progress:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=tree#chronology

We should see a saturation arround 3 trillion trees. (1)

You can easily help achivieving this goal by reworking natural=tree_row and adding single natural=tree into natural=wood areas :) I know, some say this is discouraged, but we really need to map EVERY TREE!

The person to the right?

Sometimes I even think about adding a Google Maps Link to POIs, because of Reviews. The reviews helping a lot to know what to expect from a POI before visiting them.

Thankfully there is no established tag yet.

The Linux Mint Upgrade process for Version 21.x to 22 still needs manual console commands and a sudo or root user with graphic access.

It would be nice if Mint will improve to a more integrated upgrade process in future.

The most annoying thing when adding POIs with Osmand for me is, that the POIs are disappearing when uploaded.

The POIs are only coming back after map update which takes couple of days or weeks.

That means its impossible fix an error on the new POI. Another editor needs to be used then. I use Vespucci in these cases.

How is the connection between OpenStreetMap POIs and Mangrove Reviews? How does a map user find the reviews for a specific POI?

I was checking out https://mangrove.reviews and it seems that it is using Name+GeoCoordinates to identify an POI.

@pietervdvn: cool, did not know that page. Where is it uploading to?

While StreetComplete is very careful with the quests, my experience with SCEE was much worse. As an example, with current SCEE 58.2 the building color quest is still buggy. The brown, black and white choices are showing wrong colored illustrations.

Therefore SCEE is not a recommendation for me.

True! And the "Chronic" feature on www.openstreetmap.org is not really helpful for searching deleted nodes.

Good article.

@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.

As the article states

Deletion is not erasing the history of an object in the database.

It is just harder to find after deletion.

I recommend to use the changeset comment to be be used for this kind of plaintext information.

Unfortunately my experience with Organic Maps was, that the changeset comment cannot be changed. And for text put in the comment text field a new map note is created.

I hope that Organic Maps developer team will improve on this and will allow changeset comments.
