[OSM-talk] Reporting routing problems

[Janko Mihelić]

I'd like the following procedure:

1. user makes a route and finds an error
2. There is a button "Found an error in your route?"
3. You click the button, and it behaves the same as the existing note
button. You drag the pointer to the problematic part of your route and
write "you can't turn left here".
4. Later a mapper clicks the note, and it shows the text and the
problematic route.
