    Thanks for sharing this article. Made me enthusiastic to use CoMaps to do on-the-road edits, but 2 questions:

    1. How to add or change an amenity on the address node? For example I want to add a restaurant on an address where’s currently no shop or restaurant. Or the map shows an electronics shop but now there’s a furniture shop, can I change that in the app? (Updating url or opening hours of existing amenities works fine, btw).
    2. Is it possible for the app to show all OSM based apps at first, when clicking ‘open in another map’ ?

      If you are not sure about anything just leave a note. A lot of mappers get notified about new notes, e.g. I subscribed to new notes in my city via rss, I check them at least weekly.

      1. On android that list is a system dialog, so I guess app developers can’t modify it. For me it remembers what I selected last, and displays it on the top
