[OSM-dev] [OSM-talk] OsmNote - system for keeping and sharing notes on your OSM surveying

[Mikel Maron]

Really nice.

I combined the OSMNote GeoRSS feed with the OSM Recent Edits GeoRSS feed, over Brighton..

Seems really useful to track what's happening. Yes, we will be working on adding OSM as a base layer.

In OSMNote, could the GeoRSS feed link update as the map is panned?

Subject: [OSM-talk] OsmNote - system for keeping and sharing notes on your OSM surveying

Would like to announce the first prototype version of OsmNote - a system for keeping notes on your surveying, for later use by yourself and others. (For example, after surveying you could remind yourself that there are still a load of cul-de-sacs in an area which need doing)

It's based on the Mapnik slippy map; you can click on the map and add notes which will be shown as Google-style markers. Note that at present coverage is restricted to the areas which are rendered by the main Mapnik renderer; it's my intention to also offer Christopher Schmidt's metacarta layer but I need to go back and read his post on the slightly differing coordinate system. 

Also the search will only work in the UK at present, and it's only tested on Firefox (it definitely won't work in IE)

It's available at
http://www.free-map.org.uk/osmnote/

It stores the notes as a georss feed, which can take a bbox
 parameter:

Ideas for further development welcome. One possibility is to be able to add the notes through JOSM, as then you could do it at the same time as you are creating new ways.

A couple of dev-related points (hence the dev post): a lot of the code is common to the markers system in Freemap. I'd like to try and factor a lot of this out into some sort of OpenLayers class so that the code can easily be re-used again and again.

Also the GeoRSS2 layer has had further development: for instance it has methods to specify code to handle deletion of a marker. This is available at
