[OSM-newbies] Rendering OSM without Adobe Flash

[john whelan]

Try
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=50.7015&lon=-1.2887&zoom=18
without Flash installed

It comes up "You need a Flash player to use Potlatch, the
OpenStreetMap Flash editor. You can download Flash Player from
Adobe.com. Several other options are also available for editing
OpenStreetMap. "

Thanks John
