Totally disagree Marc. Newbies won't feel welcome if they find it even harder to edit the map. It's all very well having a simple tool to add a POI but when they spot something else wrong, they may want to correct that too - whatever it is. I'm all in favour of iD being the interface of choice for everyone so that we can concentrate on it rather than considering a collection of editors. Clearly it's not got the functionality of the other editors but surely it can be adapted while still remaining a relatively simple editor for newbies. iD has a long way to go to get to the perfect state but it's only by perseverance that it'll get there. -- Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
