Avenza seems to be the go-to app nowadays. It works pretty well and all, but I’m wanting to know if there’s any software available that can allow a team of people to simultaneously access and make edits/notes to a geo-referenced map.
So, just for one example, I could add a placemarker on the map, and any of my team members who are also accessing that map will be able to see (in real time) the placemarker that I just made. Does this type of feature exist?
Sound like atak it is a military app
I will keep that one in mind, thank you for the reference.
Had to look it up and WTF. I didn’t think any military would want to run anything on an android …

Why not?
Android is open source so it can be customized. If a country decides to use Android I’m pretty sure they can spend a budget to modify and vet the source code being used by their device rather than re-inventing the wheel.
Like Felt? https://felt.com/ Not free or anything and although OSM based I dont think their geo-stack is “open”.
This might be fun to write actually. Basically you need a central server you connect to via a websocket that would plot points out on a map (maybe with leaflet?) on receipt of notifications pushed via said socket.
The trouble of course is that with a central server, you tend to incur costs, so you’d have to pay, unless some sort of P2P mesh could be established between participating parties. That’d be a fun problem to solve for sure.
WebRTC can be used, and there is public STUN or TURN server
There are lots of options depending in the level of complexity you need. On the more complex end of the spectrum there is for example: https://merginmaps.com/
