About Vespucci
Vespucci has been developed since 2009 as an OpenStreetMap editor for Android. It handles the full OpenStreetMap data model, including less common quirks, and can be used entirely offline when needed. Editing uses searchable presets based on the JOSM system, and compatible third-party presets can be downloaded to the device.
For surveying on foot, it offers address prediction and name-based creation of points of interest. It runs on Android 5.0 and later, works without Google services, and is distributed through Google Play and as APKs from its GitHub repository.
