A simple app to create and manage georeferenced notes (text and photos) on a map. The goal is to create the notes very fast and without any unnecessary interaction overhead. The typical use-case is to collect geospatial data which can be later uploaded to OpenStreetMap.

Currently the basic features are:

Create, move and delete notes on a map

Attach photos to a note

Categorize notes

List of all notes

Show and follow current location

Export all notes in GeoJSON or GPX format
