An advanced OpenStreetMap surveyor app for experienced contributors, offering enhanced editing capabilities beyond StreetComplete.
SCEE is an advanced OpenStreetMap surveyor app built for experienced contributors who find StreetComplete too limiting. It adds extensive editing capabilities, expert-only quests, and deep customization options, allowing users to collect and edit complex map data directly from their Android devices. It solves the problem of needing a more powerful, flexible tool for detailed OSM contributions without switching to desktop editors.
Experienced OpenStreetMap contributors who are familiar with OSM tagging conventions and want to perform advanced edits like direct tag modification, node insertion, and specialized data collection on mobile. Not suitable for beginners.
Developers choose SCEE over StreetComplete for its unlocked potential: it offers granular control over quests, supports expert-level data collection, and integrates external sources like Osmose, all while maintaining a mobile-first workflow. Its customizable overlays and settings cater to power users who need efficiency and precision.
