In the last few days I used Fieldpapers for the first time

It’s good !

But I’d need a sofftware on my mobile phone. There’s so much workk to do, I can’t do all with Fieldpaper

I’d need to run arond taking notes on my phone

I couldn’t find a decent one until now :-/

Osmand is good only for POIs and Vespucci is too damn hard to use !

Geopaparazzi needs a server component and I couldn’t manage to ave one running

I’d like to have spatialite on my guix based laptop. I understand that it could help with Geopaparazzi.

Too much work to do !

You might want to tell us what you are actually trying to do, particularly what makes it too hard to do on vespucci.

For example, I can’t manage to select an existing way. The selection cross alls a tiiny bit off and there is no number of tries, I’ll never get it

I’d like to add a node to an existing way (maybe a building) and then add some tags to it

Are you sure you are using vespucci? There is no such thing as a “selection cross” in the app.

If you are using it, please have a look at http://vespucci.io/help/en/Introduction/ or the same text in the on-device help.

I misunderstood how Vespucci is supposed to work.

I failed to download the area I meant to wor on, so I was trying to select a way from the tassellated representation, not from the wireframe

Now I’ll delve deeper but I think I solved this

I’ll let you know

Thanks !
