I recently started using 'Gomap!!!' to edit locations near my home: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftw...

I was surprised at how easy and intuitive it is.

Have you tried Pushpin? I've tried Go Map but I found it powerful but a bit slow. Pushpin is intended for editing details of POIs like shops and businesses while Go Map lets you do more comprehensive mapping.

Since installing Pushpin, the amount of stuff I've been adding has gone through the roof. http://pushpinosm.org/

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for this exact thing. Go Map is ok, but PushPin really does have the "I'm here now and want to add the location easily" use case nailed.

Side note: This illustrates how crappy the App Store is for discovery. I've searched for all variations on "OSM editor" and never found this one.

I've been using it for a while and it handles most of the things I've tried to enter. The only thing I've not been able to add using Pushpin is the many bookmakers/betting shops I find in London. I'm going to email the developer later and ask him to add it.

Thank you. I'm just about to install it. Maybe I'll do some drive-by editing on the bus tomorrow :)
