[OpenLayers-Users] Osmajax - OpenLayers/AJAX based online OSM editor

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello everyone,

The world probably doesn't really need another OSM editor but sometime ago I 
started developing an OpenLayers/AJAX based editor. Development stalled - 
partly because other things became more pressing and partly because segments 
were giving me a complete headache - but recently the release of the 0.5 API 
together with my long standing desire to try and produce a custom OSM editing 
interface for walkers - has re-awakened my interest.

Anyway it's at

http://www.free-map.org.uk/freemap/javascript/osmajax-0.5/

and can also be reached from Freemap (www.free-map.org.uk/) via the "Edit" 
option, though note that this is slower (for some reason SVG on Firefox seems 
to slow if there's a big CSS file). Also note this route won't work in IE.

Very basic at the moment but you can
- login to OSM
- draw a way using the openlayers drawing tool. If any points in the way are 
near an existing node, the existing node will be added to the new way. It's 
my aim to split any ways your new way passes over, though this isn't done 
yet.
- change the type of an existing way using a high level type which is mapped 
to OSM tags. Recognised high level types: footpath, bridleway, byway, minor 
road, B road, A road, residential, river.
