Getting started with contributing

Here is how you can start developing.

Currently building is supported with gradle in eclipse, android studio and naturally gradle on the command line, see build instructions.

If you are interested in adding a feature or other development work, please reach out to us before embarking on something that might be already in work or a fools errand.

Important note: if you are building your own version, particularly if you are making it available to third parties, please change app_version and app_name_version in res/values/appname.xml to something that makes it clear that this is not an "official" release and clearly identifies your builds.

Related projects

Vespucci utilizes a number of independent, separately maintained, projects. The most relevant of these are

• Editor Layer Index (ELI) background and overlay layers configuration
• JOSM alternative background and overlay layers configuration
• Beautified JOSM Preset independently maintained presets in JOSM format (can be utilized in JOSM too)
• OpeningHoursFragment opening hours user interface
• Name Suggestion Index name/brand-related tag suggestions database
• iD tagging schema for synonyms used for searching presets
• geocontext country/region specific speed limits and similar
• osm-area-tags OSM tags that imply area semantics

You can update both the imagery and preset configuration from within the app, the other configuration files are updated when necessary in the APK.
