SCEE/FAQ

This page contains FAQ for questions specific to SCEE ("StreetComplete Expert Edition" fork). It is in addition to everything covered in StreetComplete FAQ, vast majority of which applies equally to SCEE.

General

Do I need to be an OpenStreetMap expert to use it?

Depends. By default, SCEE looks and functions much like regular StreetComplete, so it does not require any extra expertise. Some SCEE-specific options and quests which can be enabled in preferences also do not require OpenStreetMap or other expertise. However, some -- especially the ones hidden behind "Expert mode" toggle -- are more likely to require intimate knowledge of OpenStreetMap tags, and can be less polished and more susceptible to allow inputting bad data if user is not sure what they are doing.

Satellite imagery is too blurry

Satellite imagery maxzoom is set too low. You need to find out which is maximum supported in your region, and then set it in "Settings" / "Data management" / "Tile source for satellite / aerial images" / "Max supported zoom". Try increasing it by one (e.g. set it to "21" if it was previously "20") and see if it fixes the problem. Repeat to check what is the best resolution you can get from that imagery. But do not set it too high or you'll start getting blank map when you zoom in.

Satellite imagery disappears when I zoom in

Satellite imagery maxzoom is set too high. You need to find out which is maximum supported in your region, and then set it in "Settings" / "Data management" / "Tile source for satellite / aerial images" / "Max supported zoom". Try reducing it by one (e.g. set it to "18" if it was previously "19") and check if the issue is solved -- repeat those steps until problem disappears. But do not set it too low or you'll satellite imagery will become too blurry.

Can't find SCEE changelog

It is known issue; in-app changelog viewer only shows upstream StreetComplete changelogs (due to technical difficulties in merging two different changelog sources). To see SCEE changelogs, please visit https://github.com/Helium314/SCEE/releases/

Some settings don't seem to change the behaviour

For some settings, after chaning them, you need to completely exit the app (i.e. clear it from the list of recent apps) before the settings will take effect. See e.g. SCEE PR #732 for more details.
