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!

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE which has a lange screen and battery (it works fine for me, only charging to 85%). I have a bulkier spigen case on it, and have dropped it several times yet, no damage.

    I have been thinking about buying an S23 Ultra or a Galaxy fold, but I would just risk to destroy more money.

    If I would buy an additional device it would be a used 10" tablet for mapping.

    Also an interesting approach would be a #NexDock which I never tried, but might even work like a tablet but as screen and input device for my existing phone, which would make switching during mapping more easy.

    At the moment I only do #StreetComplete on the go, and maybe #mapcomplete while sitting in a restaurant for example.
