Hi André, I agree with moltonel.
But otherwise I think there is a difference between a general warning or message from one mapper to another (which in its own is an interesting idea but can lead to dialogues and discussions) and a specific technical feature that would prevent moving an accurately positioned tag. Imagine there is a real-world marker at 50.000° N: http://www.dieweltenbummler.de/geografisches/geografische-besonderheiten/50-breitengrad/ Someone draws it in OSM at 50° N. Then I come there with a smartphone, measure the location, find it at 49.9° and edit the OSM accordingly. It is wrong by definition (providing that the real-world marker location is known precisely), but there is no mechanism to prevent such editing. I think it's a very specific and relevant gap, and would love seeing it solved elegantly. Kind regards, Kotya On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 11:39 PM, moltonel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 9 September 2015 21:46:54 GMT+01:00, "André Pirard" < > [email protected]> wrote: > >There are various reasons for warning other mappers to be careful about > >their updates. > >I once temporarily overlaid two walking routes to show the effect of > >displaying two sorts of icons. > >Or I left in for a while drawing errors of a plugin as the best way to > >show the author what I talk about. > >Despite a don't touch note explaining why, a good soul passes, not > >reading note and makes a "correction". > > Please run experiments like this on a test db, not on the main one.
