      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>

              (certainly these exist).<br>
              <br>
              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

                            <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

                            couple of conversations with two of the
                            developers (the only two?). They appear
