An open, cross cutting feature request for streetcomplete, everydoor, organicmaps and anyone else who targets mobile data capture.

• Ask for location detection (yup), device activity sensors (maybe not already asked for)
• If I am detected in the same place and that place has a shop=* or amenity=* for 5-15 minutes
• Activity detected is “still” or similar (I put my phone down, or walked around a shop)
• Can I please get a nuanced prompt at some point either then or within a few hours?
• And limit current notifications to 1

Particularly for cafes, restaurants, pubs, etc.

Why: Google maps does this for reviews, to great effect. Ask me, while I am at a restaurant, with a physical menu “Is the cuisine vegetarian?” Or “what’s the website?” (Often printed on menus) Ask me, while I am a cafe, “is there outdoor seating?”

The problem this solves is often I don’t know when a favourite place is missing data. I go there all of the time, why wouldn’t it be mapped?

Give me a “no thanks” option so if I don’t want the intrusion I can opt out easily. But if I hit “yes please, nudge me”…
