Just a super quick question about helping to update the map locations.

Between StreetComplete and Organic Maps, which is faster for submitting recommended changes to the OSM team in regards to things like business hours, etc...

In my experience StreetComplete is almost real time. As soon as you close the app adds all of your changes I think. I've never tried it in Organic Maps but I imagine it's similar

Usually your edits will go straight to the map! There are people that work on tools and foundations of the map data but when it comes to the data itself WE are the OSM team!

Recommended changes are done via map notes. If you fon't know what I'm talking about you can turn them on on openstreetmap.org to see what I mean

I think in its usual setting StreetComplete uploads as soon as you make it (if you have an internet connection). It can also be set to upload when you reach WiFi or manually.
