I use @openstreetmap a lot, via #OSMAnd+, and I'd love to give back to the map commons. The biggest problems I see are not with the basic data (streets etc), since the NZ govt's own map data is released under CC license, and updates to it are quickly imported into #OSM.
Rather what I see is outdated info about what can be found at a given address. Any advice of helping to update that kind of data? Is it part of OSM or other data commons used by OSMAnd+?

Are these available on F-Droid?

This sounds powerful. Would you recommend it for a beginner?

Thanks, I'll have a look. Having editing it in the map app I already use sounds good.
