[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Interface seems to mean "Edit the start coordinate of a trace" (#3047)

[Harry Wood]

It's perhaps even more wierd that on the traces index page https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces we also have _"view map | edit map"_ links, without anything mentioning "start coordinate", but which also go by start coordinate. But less weird when you consider as Tom says... it's all we have to go on, unless we extract a bbox out of the trace data.

My suggestion would be to simplify down a bit. Remove "view map | edit map"_ links from the index page entirely, and on a particular trace page remove the "edit" link (Does anyone really need to be able to launch into an editor without looking where they're editing on the map first?) and then we could just linkify the coordinate numbers to the map.

But if we _do_ want an edit link, it ocurrs to me we may have the technology nowadays to do something more useful: actually launching the editor with params to prompt loading the GPX file. Is that do-able? I'm not sure. My first attempt with id: https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?gpx=https://www.openstreetmap.org/trace/387605/data ...is 500 erroring.
