[OSM-dev] [GSoC] Improvements to Vespucci

[Graham Jones]

Hi Jan,
I like your ideas for the 'Easy Editing Mode' - one of the shortfalls with
the existing Vespucii User Interface (in my opinion) is too many menu
selections to do simple things like create a node - download data - select
editing mode - select point etc.

Long clicking to create a node seems like a good way to go.   I wonder if
it could auto download the map data (provided zoomed in far enough), to
avoid having to select that separately too? [the newer version may do that
- long time since I worked on it).

Regards


Graham.
