Yes you can - hold space and drag. > you can't zoom in closely Yes you can - up to zoom 19. If you need more than that for tracing then you must have professional survey-grade GPS equipment and be walking very carefully down the centreline of each road. > and it takes ages to load just the mapdata No it doesn't - it's on average faster than the equivalent .osm file for first download, and faster still on subsequent pans because it doesn't redownload already-loaded ways (unlike the map call). If you try to edit central Karlsruhe at full-screen z13 on a 30in monitor, then yes, of course it'll take ages. ;) > not to talk about gpx-traces from the server Loading GPS trackpoints for an area in Potlatch is astonishingly fast. Loading a single trace from the server is the same speed as anything else that loads a single trace from the server. > so I really wouldn't recommend it to trace tracks. Well, each to their own, but I've traced thousands upon thousands of miles of GPS tracks using Potlatch. It's almost the core use case. Potlatch also has a very competent function for directly converting a GPS trace to a way, with in-built Douglas-Peucker simplification. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Thoughts-on-an-enhanced-GPX-api-tp24696667p24719840.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
