Dedicated phone for mapping?
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!

Definitely nothing wrong with that. People have spent way more outrageous amounts of money on other hobbies so just go for it.
If the expense is worth it to you, there is no reason not to. And you'll likely find other uses for the secondary phone too.
If you ever want to do more serious surveying, look into what people are doing with RTK antennas and their smartphones. There are definitely some interesting options for very serious centimeter-accurate surveying that can be done with just a smartphone and an external RTK antenna.
The antenna sounds interesting, I’ll have a look into that!
