@CoMaps@floss.social Bringing more people to OSM editing is awesome! Good job!
But I wonder how conflicts are solved. CoMaps works on offline map data with a certain age. What happens when someone edits a point in CoMaps that was edited in OSM data but CoMaps not having the latest data avbailable.

@dirk@gts.0x7be.net @CoMaps@floss.social I think it just appends/removes keys, but you're right, this could cause conflicts...

@dirk@gts.0x7be.net @CoMaps@floss.social I assume it checks whether the feature was edited after the map was pulled from the database and does some heuristics before applying a change.

@dirk@gts.0x7be.net @CoMaps@floss.social if the feature was deleted or the tag being edited was removed then uploads will fail. CoMaps will query OSM for features within a given tolerance at upload time to check this. Also the app prevents editing entirely if your local maps are too out of date.
