Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

There's already an android app that does some of that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.guillaumin.android.osmtracker I record traces and add notes/markers for various things and take photos, export it as a gpx, share the trace/photos to google drive, then download them for

Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

If you’re on an iPhone then “Trails” is very good. Records GPS and one can add waypoints and then export the lot straight to Open Street Map. https://trails.io/en/ (I’m not a developer of it, just a fan). I agree that it would be awesome to have a walkers app that allows on-the-move edits of

One thought I've had for a long time (and have probably mentioned in the past) is a walkers' editor (app rather than web-based). To be used something like: User goes for walk and records GPX trace, following this sort of pattern. Each time the type of right of way changes, the user selects a

Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

I can't but comment on my own experiences but for quick, simple updates, iD is the way to go (and it can handle a lot more than that). You'll notice that the [Edit] dropdown shows, in order: iD, Potlatch 2, Remote Control (for JOSM or similar). I'm presuming these options are only coincidentally

Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

Probably a side-effect of being more recently created, but I've got the impression iD is easier to make coded adjustments to & specialised implementations of (certainly these exist). That's just another small sales point for iD. But also provides the argument: if you can't get improvements added,

Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

Apart from other factors a very strong reason for favouring iD over P2 is that the latter is Flash-based, It therefore has a degree of in-built obsolescence, and may not be allowed for security reasons in some organisations. iD has been the default editor for a number of years now (just under 3

Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

I don't think anyone was criticising P2, just questioning how so many new users had chosen a non-default editor. Phil (trigpoint) On Thu Feb 25 13:15:11 2016 GMT, Dave F wrote: > What's wrong with with suggesting users use P2 over iD? > > P2 has a few advantages over other editors. The only

Hi, I currently aim to use lanes:psv where taxis are allowed, but due to major projects, nothing beats surveying at present. — Amaroussi > On 25 Feb 2016, at 13:24, Dave F wrote: > > I believe visibility of the lanes isn't necessarily the problem, but the >

Re: [Talk-GB] London bus lanes

I believe visibility of the lanes isn't necessarily the problem, but the tagging scheme. Actually, I should say schemes; quite difficult to memorise the differences. And that's before finding out if taxis, motorbike, bicycles or even cars are permitted. Dave F. On 24/02/2016 18:02, Richard

Re: [Talk-GB] New users and P2

What's wrong with with suggesting users use P2 over iD? P2 has a few advantages over other editors. The only real benefit I've noticed in iD is it prevents loading of data if user is zoomed too far out. Something that Richard Fairhurst might be able to implement fairly easily into P2. I'm
