What is Pushpin?
A mobile OpenStreetMap editor for iOS
Designed to be easy + fast, but still powerful.
Why build another editor?
A mobile editor shouldn't be a full suite of editing tools, scaled to handheld size.
Too many mobile editors just edit tag key/value pairs.
Pushpin makes editing in the field more realistic.
A few design principles:
Editing should be fast
Should be able to add or edit features in seconds.
Changes accurate + concise
Keep it simple, for casual use
Simple list of categories + types.
Searching / filtering / autocompletion.
No need to remember tags.
How it works:
Based on commercial tools for field data collection.
Form for editing is maintained in the Fulcrum form designer.
Conditions can present options in proper context

Has enabled communities to make thousands & thousands of contributions
From expert + casual mappers
