Does anyone here have a phone/device just for mapping? A lot of the mapping I’m doing now is updating details of already mapped items.

I was thinking of getting a cheap secondhand android phone to use just for mapping. I’d also love to use StreetComplete again!

    What is the advantage of having a dedicated phone vs using your everyday phone?

      I’ve seen a few people online talking about having a dedicated GPS device for mapping, since I don’t need a dedicated GPS device for the type of mapping I’m doing, I thought of possibly getting another phone. That’s why I came here, I wanted to get another opinion on it and see if it would actually be beneficial.

      The everyday phone doesn’t run out of juice.

          I rather recommend a powerbank then

          And be tethered to a cable all the time? In my case, the GPX recording phone is in my backpack (where there’s also a powerbank) and the main phone is for listening to music and taking photos without the annoying cable in the way all the time.
