Launches iD: All-new Easy Map Editor</a></h2> <p><em>by
<em>Satri</em></em></p> <div><p>Two days ago the new open source
iD editor we mentioned a few times has been officially launched, here's
the official announcement <a
href="http://blog.openstreetmap.org/2013/05/07/openstreetmap-launches-all-new-easy-map-editor-and-announces-funding-appeal/">OpenStreetMap
launches all-new easy map editor and announces funding appeal</a>.</p>
<p>From the announcement: <em>"The new editor, codenamed
‘iD’, boasts an intuitive interface and clear walk-throughs that
make editing much easier for new mappers. By lowering the barrier to
contributions, we believe that more people can contribute their local
knowledge to the map – the crucial factor that sets OSM apart from
closed-source commercial maps. [...] The new iD editor is a pure HTML5
experience, using the cutting-edge D3 visualisation library. Behind the clear
design and intuitive interface is a sophisticated back-end that automatically
recommends the most popular ‘tagging’ conventions used by the OSM
community."</em></p>
<p>Numerous sources discussed the new iD editor, you'll find more <a
