There is no real reason to break things up block by block unless the blocks have unique names or something. It's also a pain to edit when the areas have been glued to the roads.

So yeah, leave them big.

I think in its usual setting StreetComplete uploads as soon as you make it (if you have an internet connection). It can also be set to upload when you reach WiFi or manually.

StreetComplete does have a couple of quests for this that default to disabled so you can turn them on if you're interested.

@woelkchen @openstreetmap Odd that this hasn't made it to the main website yet?

@NeatNit @openstreetmap
switching topics again are we?

They rolled out a massive new warning type and then didn't have all their apps accept it as OK. That is a deliberate choice. It is their ecosystem from top to bottom, they *chose* not to have the TetheredNet added to the list of allowed warnings in existing installs. If they hadn't wanted to make that choice they should have done the responsible thing and held the rollout until their app supported it.

@NeatNit @openstreetmap

I would assume the same as the reason for warning about this in the first place? They don't seem to like devs tying things back to preset websites and think it deserves a massive warning icon.

@gedaliyah

Maybe, but as it says above, that's the old NonFreeNet complaint that doesn't keep it out of search results.

The newer TetheredNet that is causing it to disappear from in app search results is just that they use their own map servers to serve the map files after they've been converted to the Organic Maps format.

@gedaliyah @NeatNit @openstreetmap

If you select a hotel found on Kayak it will add an affiliate link to Kayak in addition to the direct link stored in OpenStreetMap.

If you know to look in https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/blob/master/metadata/app.organicmaps.yml you will find:

"AntiFeatures:
TetheredNet:
en-US: Map download service (cdn*.organicmaps.app).
NonFreeNet:
en-US: Hotel widget includes a link to kayak.com not contained in original map
data."

It's new so I think more will probably be flagged later.

@NeatNit @gedaliyah @openstreetmap

Oh, and they also deliberately buried the rollout of the new anti-feature in the middle of an obscure blog post rather than doing the responsible thing and prompting users to make a decision about it.

@organicmaps is probably on borrowed time before it is also hidden from search.

@NeatNit @gedaliyah @openstreetmap

F-Droid do provide more detail about why they warn that something has an anti-feature, but only make that easily accessible if you run their code natively on your device. If you're on the web interface you have to figure out which of the links in the external links section isn't actually external and look in there.

Their excuse for this is that their website can't parse their own file format that they invented for themselves.

@inbeesee @openstreetmap It does have a team mode, but I think that's just a transient thing.

It looks better in the F4 map demo: https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=50.8950203&lon=4.3415218&zoom=18&camera.theta=67.059&camera.phi=-106.857

Streets.gl has an ... interesting interpretation: https://streets.gl/#50.89508,4.34143,45.00,0.00,577.53
