I record traces and add notes/markers for various things and take
photos, export it as a gpx, share the trace/photos to google
drive, then download them for use in iD. <br>

Apparently you can customise the buttons to show different things,
haven't tried it yet though.<br>

<p>One thought I've had for a long time (and have probably
mentioned in the past) is a walkers' editor (app rather than
web-based). To be used something like:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>User goes for walk and records GPX trace, following this sort
of pattern.</p>
<p><br>
Each time the type of right of way changes, the user selects a
high level type ("Public Footpath", "Public Bridleway" etc in
the UK) together with optional surface tags.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>User can also enter relevant POIs like stiles, gates etc when
they are encountered.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When user returns home, track simplification algorithm used
to make a way from the GPX trace and tags it with the tags
equivalent to the ROW type.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>User downloads data from OSM and algorithms are used to
auto-join the user's new ways to existing ways where
appropriate (or alternatively, the user does this manually)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Would there be any interest in this I wonder? </p>

That's just another small sales point for iD. But also
provides the argument: if you can't get improvements
added, fork it and add them yourself (could apply to
Potlatch too).

<div>Apart from other factors a very strong
reason for favouring iD over P2 is that
the latter is Flash-based, It therefore
has a degree of in-built obsolescence, and
may not be allowed for security reasons in
some organisations.
<br>
<br>
</div>
iD has been the default editor for a number
of years now (just under 3 IIRC), and the
bulk of additional code for on-line editors
is added to iD, mainly by MapBox. There have
been enhancements to P2 too, but these are
many fewer. So the latter is neither
obsolete, nor in an end-of-life stage.
However, when it's end comes it's likely to
be swift as flash gets eliminated by major
browsers.<br>
<br>
</div>
There's still plenty of space for on-line
editors (for instance one which deals with
highways, buildings etc as primitive objects
rather than OSM elements as the current ones
do): but whether anyone is willing to take on
the odium of maintaining an OSM editor is
moot.<br>
<br>
</div>
Furthermore, editors on mobile devices are much
less mature, and there are substantial potential
benefits in reducing or even eliminating the
survey-edit-update cycle.

What's wrong with with suggesting users use
P2 over iD?<br>
<br>
P2 has a few advantages over other editors.
The only real benefit I've noticed in iD is
it prevents loading of data if user is
zoomed too far out. Something that Richard
Fairhurst might be able to implement fairly
easily into P2.<br>
<br>
I'm even less encouraged to use iD after a
couple of conversations with two of the
developers (the only two?). They appear
resentful to many of the suggestions for
improvement.<br>
<br>
From memory Richard F. was a developer in
the start up of iD, Is he still involved?<br>

We spotted them as new users from the bot

They were spread over the country, I
assume the lecturer hasn't updated his

Hi,<br>
<br>
Is anyone aware of any recent OSM press
- we've seen a lot of new OSM mappers in
the Midlands in the last 2 days :-)<br>
<br>
Also is Potlatch 2 still the default for
new mappers as they all seem to be using
that? I though we'd switched to iD as
the default across all browsers now
(although I don't remember where I read
that!).<br>
<br>
