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!

Why don't you get a proper android phone?

You wrote that you want to get a cheap android. Why not getting a more expensive one and replace the iphone?

I don’t have a need to replace the iPhone outright yet, I’ve only had it for just under a year.

If anything happened to a cheap phone while I’m out, I won’t be overly concerned

You can think about getting an 2nd hand Android Phone. If go for one which has broken sound/microfon/camera you may can get a pretty solid device for cheap money.

Recommondation for sure is Google Pixel Phone which have long term updates and you can play arround with alternative Android versions like GrapheneOS.
