Street Complete is basically dysfunctional. (slrpnk.net)

Street Complete is quite dysfunctional for me. I just get a beige background with icons (+) (-) (ø) ≡. Long tapping gives:

create new note
create new track recording
open location in another app

There is no way to specify a location to edit. If I go online and turn on GPS, the screen fills with questions to answer but still no map.

How do I get a map?

How do I specify a location to go to?

The only thing I can think of is that my phone forces all traffic over Tor. It’s possible that wherever StreetComplete goes to fetch maps may be a Tor-hostile server, and StreetComplete does not bother to inform the user. I could try making a config exception to direct StreetComplete traffic to the clearnet. Maybe I’ll try that the next time I have an unlimited connection at my disposal.

This would be an interesting test for others to try: use SC with tor and without tor and see if there’s a difference.
