Create a OpenStreetMap navigation app as a companion to iD

[TheAdventurer64]

I am proposing...

A navigation app that would have several different features, including accurate turn by turn navigation, a full featured preset editor, and a gamifacation system that awards you for adding adding places, missing roads, detail to places, reviews, photos, etc.

What will this enable that we can't do today?

The app would be the first app to have a gamification system built into a navigation app, as well as the first app to have support for voice instructions that doesn't use the built in voice feature in a smartphone. This would also be the first app to have a lot of other new features, such as:

• The first navigation app to automatically update on a regular basis (Similar to OSMCarto), rather than updating monthly, like OSMAnd and maps.me, for free.

• The first app that would use Mapbox for turn by turn navigation, and have support for editing.

• The first navigation app to have preset editing support for tags like air_conditioning=* smoking=*

• The first navigation app to combine iD presets, a gamification system, Mapbox navigation, and a review system, all in one.

Whom does this benefit?

Beginners / Power Users

Insiders / Outsiders
Developers / Consumers / Mappers / Teachers /

Any drawbacks?

I personally think the biggest problem with the app is that Google may sue the app for being too similar to Waze.

Resources needed to build and maintain?

Who will build this?

Need a database / hosting?
The app will use the Mapbox navigation, iD presets, and possibly the Mapbox map to work.

Anything else you want to add?
