[openstreetmap-website] GPS trace not displayed in "Map" mode: bug or feature? (#1018)

[Tom Hughes]

So I guess you are saying that the "map" link on the "more" page does not display the trace overlaid on the map. That's correct, but it's not a bug, because it was never intended to. It just displays the map in the area of the trace. The "edit" link, which is a more recent addition, shows the trace in an editor so you can draw the features it represents.

There's no obvious use case for display a trace on the map without edit support - just displaying it is not really a valid use case for the site because the goal of the site is to support entering data into the main database not to provide a way for people to display traces to the world.

In any case as you correctly discovered, this is a duplicate of #387.
