Being able to retrieve trackpoints from OSM (in the same way as you can 
retrieve nodes and segments) would be veru useful - it's mean I could 
use osmeditor for the initial creation of segments, rather than the applet.

I've found that at some times of day the live editing mode can return a 
lot of "Already making a request" errors (presumably because API 
responses are slow due to server load). Would it be possible to have 
these updates queued within the client, and processed sequentially - 
maybe even add a little bargraph to the status bar so it's possible to 
tell how far behind the updates are.

I've been pretty unsuccessful creating ways so far - can you give a 
quick rundown on how it's supposed to work?

Other than that, I'm progressing quite well in mapping the area in which 
I live - without OSM-Editor I'm sure progress would be much slower.

Thanks for a great app!
