StreetComplete is dead simple to use. No guide necessary.

I think it is not advisable to write guides for improving specific tools / services.

But I think would be a good thing to promote bug reporting, active user feedback, active feature requests, etc. in general as these could drive service providers to improve their services.

> **Example use cases**
> 
> When someone sends you a Google Maps link, but you prefer using OpenStreetMap, you can quickly **open the same location** in OsmAnd or Organic Maps.
> 
> When you like Google Maps for finding places, but you prefer a different app for navigation, you can easily switch from Google Maps to your favorite **navigation app**.
