Hi Emptyasapocket,

Thanks for your reply. There's rarely "doing something incorrectly" on here: it's an iterative process of improvement, so feel free to keep adding things.

I just got the Organic Maps app to look at the functionality - very nice. 

If I follow the "Add a place to the map" workflow, I'm given the option to "Send a note to OSM editors".

While these are part of the same workflow on the app, at the database each of these does different things. The first adds the object itself to the map, the second adds a red map pin with the given text.

In this case, because you've located the ATM within the Co-op perimeter, the map knows all you know: there's no need also to add a note.

On the other hand the dog bins on your nearby notes would be a prime case for using the "Send a note" feature: you can "add a place" (Rubbish Bin), then "send a note" ("dog waste").

That way someone with a fuller editing system than your app can add the further details later (or indeed you could if you like, at openstreetmap.org > Edit).

Hope this is helpful and not a splurge of detail. If in doubt, just carry on: it's great to have another mapper nearby.
