Description

Please use this application only if you know about map editing in OSM! This is not a map view tool!
You need an account with OpenStreetMap.org to use it.

Vespucci is the first editor for OpenStreetMap on Android. You can download the map data for a specific area and edit the map. After editing, you can send it directly to the OSM server.

You can choose between an EasyEdit mode with all operations or individual operations to perform.
Any accidental change can be undone and all changes are listed for review before upload.
Autocompletion, JOSM compatible presets, links to the translated map-features pages and even autocompleting nearby street based on distance help to find the right tags to use.

Great app. I could do the edits I wanted. Keep up the good work. Nice type-ahead also to help you on the run. I had a problem selecting nodes, but that seems to be fixed by enabling Settings Icon > Large node drag area

Well working mobile OSM editor.

It's an impressive looking app, but the functionality just isn't there for general editing. Adding tags is very unintuitive and difficult to save, adding areas seems impossible. It is all complicated in that the way it works is different to other GIS systems, so things don't work the way one would expect, however the help/tutorials are not comprehensive. I am a GIS professional and have spent an hour with the app trying to create a new area feature and define it, and create a new building. I have been unable to accomplish either. I assume it's possible, but my review is based on the belief that in a good app a user with GIS experience should be able to do this, (with reference to help documentation), fairly easily.

I use this rather than the online OSM editors, because they struggle to run on my laptop and it does fine on my phone. Obviously to use it properly you need to learn the app and read the OSM wiki for the tags you're using, but that's necessary anyway for OSM editing. I've had a few crashes on my S3, but—amazingly—without losing my edits. They're intact when the app resumes. I like the app a lot.

It's okay Does weird stuff jumping in and out of fullscreen mode when the menus pop up, making it difficult to use. None of the icons have labels, and I couldn't find an undo option so I ended up with a broken map and gave up.

Great for editing on the road For address update and other small edits it great. Thanks for the contribution and effort considering there is no ads and it's free

New update not good It takes a lot of time to show imagery. Not loading.

René Sigma July 30, 2016

Best OSM editor for android I hope it will get better.

Very nice and useful app for osm contributers

pankaj mahata September 8, 2016

Very good

Dmitry Gurovich June 10, 2016

Extremely useful for small changes Extremely useful if you need to perform some small edits when you outside

Jamal Hammad April 23, 2016

Best OSM editor Deserves 4 stars but since it's the best, it receives an automatic upgrade to 5 stars. Keep up the excellent work!

Ludo Frulig February 25, 2016

Promising, but bugs and UI twists

A Google User January 7, 2016

Great editor, getting better all the time.

A Google User September 27, 2015

Great I discovered this app 5 years ago and it was fine, now it is full of features and great. Needs some OSM editing experience (like JOSM editor) to use properly.

mike d September 28, 2015

Awesome Love this app! So useful! I've used this app to make over 2,200 edits in six months. Everything from buildings, parks, canals, beaches, playgrounds, drinking water, grass, forest, gas stations. It goes on and on. Google doesn't have anything on this!

Jürgen Appel September 13, 2015

Permissions? Actually it's a good app, but why would a map editor need to be able to listen to everything I say, i.e. remove the microphone permission and get 4 stars...

A Google User August 8, 2015

Great OSM tool I use this all the time for quick and easy on-the-road editing. It's light and well-designed. Now it has undo/redo, I want to give it 6 stars!

odida paulpope August 25, 2015

Driver its super cool in the karamoja region.

Martin Junger July 27, 2015

Good Sometimes not intuitive interface.

A Google User June 29, 2015

Bester OSM-Editor für Android Bester OSM-Editor für Android. Seit den ersten Versionen hat er sich großartig entwickelt.

Owl Owl July 7, 2015

With this app you can edit OSM right in the field!! UPD: where is menu with classes of tags ('abc' button)?

prateek Vishwas June 23, 2015

Love it Great work Marcus!!! I love this tool. Its really user friendly and reliable. I often use this tool to add new streets and locations to OSM. Thanks buddy for this great app.

Adam Ceres April 15, 2015

Very good! As for the limitations of mobile devices, it is well designed and convenient in use.

Mohamed Mabrouk April 12, 2015

Best but still Needs plenty of enhancements to make it easier to use

Kalle Samuels March 28, 2015

The only one is the best Likes to lose data I've entered when it crashes, which is often. But it's the only complete OSM editor for android. Not a bad app, but could be so much better.

Artem Chuprina January 25, 2015

Handsome when travelling Allows to edit OSM quickly after you've noted that it needs improvement

Good mapping solution While it is not easy to add POIs and lines on a smartphone, this is a good app to map things slightly larger than a single POI, or to map changes on buildings, streets and the like.

Frederick Muriithi November 1, 2014

I love it Finally, I find editing OSM accessible to me, easy and somewhat intuitive. I love this app, and can't seem to stop mentioning it to friends

Denis Carriere October 13, 2014

Pretty cool app!

Konstantin Pečaļka August 14, 2014

Cool Almost like JOSM and usable from phone! Fantastic! Also can be used just for submitting 'bugs' while in field.

Silvano Cirujano Cuesta August 20, 2014

Best OSM editor for Android!

Russell Meier August 18, 2014

nice OSM editor for Android

Tom Rogers August 4, 2014

Needs work Not yet intuitive. support docs thoroughly lacking detail. can't see instructions on how to add turn restrictions for example. Still loses all unuploadedd points notes and even local gps traces (08/14). Also, map still doesn't auto centre on GPS location and zoom to that point even with Follow GPS enabled, nor can it get your location from network or WiFi, only GPS.

Marcus Wolschon October 21, 2013

Turn restrictions have just been added very, very recently. Please report any crash to https://code.google.com/p/osmeditor4android/issues/list . You have to check "follow GPS" to auto-center. OSM is simply not allowed to use Google's GPS maps. Sorry.

Svetlov Artem August 11, 2014

Редактор для уточнения замапленных мест. Редактор с большими возможностями. Можно править не только теги, но и рисовать и редактировать геометрии. Пробовал для маппинга дворов многоэтажек. Топосъёмку с нуля в нём делать сложно - редактор лучше подходит для мест которые уже хорошо замаплены. Удобно ставить новые магазины, или этажность домов.

Reuben Peterkin March 25, 2014

It's improved a lot

Roberto Benitez February 26, 2014

Great app! I started using iD on the browser. But after a while my finger started hurting from all that clicking. I have been using this app for a while now, and with my tablet and stylus, it feels so much more easy and natural.
