[OSM-talk] Web Based Yahoo! Maps/OpenLayers Editor

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    that editor looks quite cool. It feels a lot more responsive than 
the applet, and more intutive as well (but then I must admit that I have 
never done a lot of editing with the applet).

Things I would like (or didn't find/understand):

1. I drew an area and tagged it, then hit "upload", and then wanted to 
get the OSM for it to load into JOSM. I clicked on "OSM" and got an OSM 
dump of *everything* from the server instead of only seeing my changes. 
How do I get my changes only?

2. Would it be possible to show existing drawing by others in another color?

3. Trying to find out what is already there in OSM was cumbersome 
because it required constant switching of layers. Would it somehow be 
possible to make a bounding box query against the server and display all 
existing nodes and segments for the area on top of the Yahoo image (if 
the area is small enough of course)?

4. When panning in the satellite view, there was a rather annoying white 
flash, and the image only came back when I released the mouse button. 
(Firefox 1.5.0.7 under Linux).

5. I believe having negative IDs in the OSM dump is not sufficient for 
JOSM to trigger an upload; you have to have an "action=modify" attribute 
as well.

Bye
Frederik
