[OSM-newbies] Map Editing: using your own layers

[Brian Stempin]

Hi everyone,
I currently use OSM data as part of a research project.  As part of my
project, I've discovered several areas in the part of the map that I'm using
(Minneapolis, MN).  Most of them are places where roads don't overlap
properly.

I found these areas by obtaining an OSM download, importing it into my
PostGIS database, and using some PHP to generate a table.  This table
contains points that need to be examined and fixed.

I'd like to overlay these points onto an OSM map and fix these errors.  I
have a WMS server and tools that can render images directly from PostGIS
connections (QGIS).  This is great for producing pictures, but it's a pain
to try to fix errors by looking at one window that contains the errors (say,
in QGIS) and then switch to a second window (say, JSOM) to actually fix the
errors.  I'd like to find an OSM editor that will allow me to overlay my
points onto the map that I'm editing.  Preferably, I'd like to be able to do
this in the JSOM editor.  I'd also like to avoid using the QGIS OSM editor
plugin -- it's not nearly as nice as the JSOM editor and seems to be pretty
buggy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian
