I need some help @openstreetmap.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the help!

What do I do, if a business has closed down, and then a new business has taken over the same place?

Do I mark the previous business as “does not exist” and add the new one, or do I edit the existing one?

I recommend to use the changeset comment to be be used for this kind of plaintext information.

Unfortunately my experience with Organic Maps was, that the changeset comment cannot be changed. And for text put in the comment text field a new map note is created.

I hope that Organic Maps developer team will improve on this and will allow changeset comments.
