Beware: version 3.14 (and earlier) of OsmAnd for iOS moves OSM POIs without telling you
Posted by stragu on 15 September 2020 in English.If you are a user of OsmAnd Maps for iOS, you might have to refrain from using the current version (3.14) to edit OSM POIs. I just figured out that, after editing a bunch of POI opening hours in my suburb, the changeset also affected the locations of the POIs, even though I did not touch that.
It looks like the editor rounds the coordinates of the POIs to 6 significant figures, which might look like a move of only a few meters on the map, but the changes get more drastic as you move away from the equator and the meridian. I suspect people editing in Oceania and East Asia will see more obvious changes.
In this picture, from data in eastern so-called Australia, the arrowheads roughly show where the POIs should be, and the green line shows the longitude where they were moved:
