I've almost developed an alternative to Keypad Mapper 3, Streetcomplete and Osmpad for adding housenumbers

Great stuff, thanks again.

I believe the map was centered on the last location I was looking at (in a different app). As it didn’t pick up my position it remained there. Works perfectly now! Can’t wait to go out and survey :)

Thanks for your quick reply.

IIRC in OSM Pad you could follow/unfollow the GPS. When you followed and panned the map it would snap back to the GPS position after a few seconds. Enough time to place a note, even the next one. While you walked for a bit to the next (detached) house it would centre on GPS again. Actually for regular patterns of numbers I only took a note at junctions or any irregularities… I’m lazy after all. I do the actual work in JOSM anyways.

GPS is working now, no idea what was wrong earlier, I had a signal in other apps. I would have been surprised if that was missing. I can’t see a focus on GPS button tho!? Upon first opening my map was centered on a different part of the world.

Thinking of it, I start liking the option to rotate the map :)

Thank you so much! I loved OSMPad many years ago when I did house number mapping, then I didn’t have the need for a while. Now I’m back in an area with lots of numbers missing so I was looking out so exactly that! (I even thought about starting my own app project with absolutely no experience)

Two things I noticed right after opening the app. It doesn’t show GPS. In OSMPad I liked how you could follow it, then place your marker and it would jump back to GPS afterwards. Also with my fat fingers, I’d appreciate if I could fix the orientation.

But even as it is now it’ll help me big time!
