[OSM-talk] Potlatch POI editing

[Mike Collinson]

Excellent work! Thank you.

I was just in the middle of a complicated manoeuvre using Potlatch for its yahoo imagery and JOSM for spot points when your email came through.  Much easier now and does not degrade the ease-of-use of the way entering tool - very important for a prototype general public interface.

BTW, I urge everyone to remember to add names of places when you go through mapping them, I think most of us still forget. No excuses now!
