Flemme de rédiger un avis sur #Tripadvisor & Cie ? Avec #MapComplete c'est possible d'en rédiger grâce à #MangroveReviews.

Conçu pour être essentiellement anonyme à moins d'être connecté à @MapComplete avec #OpenStreetMaps.

Pas de véritable compte, mais Mangrove dispose d'un système clé public/privé pour regrouper vos avis avec l'IP de chaque nouvel appareil/navigateur.

Sur MapComplete modifier/supprimer est possible, mais pensez à rafraîchir la page pour voir le bouton (...) pour le faire.


Great! Welcome to the #OpenStreetMap community 🙂

Please note that the #OrganicMaps developer community has forked it under the name @CoMaps due to governance and future takeover concerns. #CoMaps has replaced Organic Maps as my first recommendation for an OSM app.

#OsmAnd has been mentioned as a more powerful alternative to CoMaps/Organic Maps. However, if someone doesn’t need offline maps (maybe they’re low on storage), or maybe you need to share a place on OSM with someone who doesn’t have CoMaps/Organic Maps/OsmAnd installed - check out osmapp.org/ (@osmapp), which is a progressive web app with multilingual vector tiles, navigation, photos from Wikimedia Commons, 3D buildings, indoor maps, and more.

mapcomplete.org/ (@MapComplete) is another web app worth checking out. It works on all devices, the concept of themed maps helps you discover some of the possibilities of OSM, and it has a beginner-friendly quiz-like editor similar to StreetComplete.

Most notably, #MapComplete shows you photos of places (including photos of restaurant menus!) from #Panoramax (@panoramax) , and ratings and reviews from #MangroveReviews (@mangroveReviews) …and it allows you to easily add them yourself using only your OSM account. Panoramax and Mangrove Reviews are libre (“open”) data projects just like OSM, and can help all OSM apps.

I’ve heard that Magic Earth (proprietary) uses OSM data and has traffic information too. Worth a look?


Been adding restaurant ratings and reviews to Mangrove Reviews @mangroveReviews using MapComplete @MapComplete

I’ve written 6 so far, and there’s more to come! Plenty of WIP drafts to finish 🙂

This really plays to my strengths, combining my love for

  • writing,
  • improving OpenStreetMap, free data, and freedom-respecting software,
  • reviewing (as a child, I liked to review the theatre I watched with my parents…my parents and their theatre friends would often ask me for my review after the show, and would listen to me intently 🥺)
  • …and trying new things to eat and drink!

If you like my open data reviews and photos, please support me on Liberapay! I need to be able to afford eating out to continue reviewing 😅

PS MapComplete currently removes all line breaks from the reviews it displays (which breaks things like paragraphs and bullet lists), and Mangrove Reviews truncates the text of the reviews it displays. So there’s no perfect way to view the reviews right now…I’ve let the developers know about these issues and they will hopefully fix them soon.
