Functionality

As currently there is no documentation for EveryDoor, this section holds functionality description snippets.

Getting started

Logging in

EveryDoor allows to collect data without logging in. If you intend to go for a survey and want to upload soon - for example, to avoid editing conflicts - make sure to log in right away, if your OSM credentials are stored in a password manager that is not accessible from your phone.

To log in, open menu -> OSM Account -> Log in with OAuth.

Alternatively, EveryDoor will prompt for login the first time data upload is attempted.

Downloading data

When EveryDoor is first opened, or positioned in a location with no downloaded data, a red bar No data, tap here to download will appear. Tapping it will download OSM data. Data is downloaded in a larger region, not just the immediate viewport to avoid frequent downloads when moving.

If there is downloaded data, but it is outdated, a yellow bar Data is obsolete, tap here to refresh will appear.

[TODO] What area is downloaded, does zoomlevel affect this? [TODO] How old is "obsolete"? [TODO] What happens if "obsolete" overlaps with "fresh" in the current area to downloaded, can "fresh" data prevent "obsolete" from being updated, or does it re-download the whole are if any element is considered "obsolete"?

Moving nodes

To move a node, tap on a POI in the detail pane (at the bottom).
Then tap anywhere in the map (at the top). It has a "Move" label next to the POI, but tapping anywhere in the map will allow to move the selected POI.
