Allow editing coordinates of points

jidanni opened this issue · comments

Let's say I want to insert / move a node to a given exact x and y.

Listing below provides the official geographical coordinates of the boundary points for the Lake Ontario and
Niagara River section. They are provided in the same datum as they were originally published with reference to the
source.
NAD83
Point Latitude Longitude Source
TP 105 N 44...

I wish there were an expert mode, that would expose the coordinates as editable fields.

That seems risky when nodes are part of ways. A single mistake could lead to highways that make a sharp turn to go straight into the middle of the ocean before making an even sharper turn to go back.

Then maybe just allow adding a new node to the map with custom coordinates.
Then at least there is a way to put something somewhere, exactly.

At some point you're just better off using iD/Rapid.

Yes, for adding a node, https://level0.osmz.ru/ is much better suited while having the same simple UI. Sorry but this editor was made for fast editing, not creating things or even touching the geometry.
