Map Edit History

[EightBitRanger]

Did a quick search and only found a thread about something to do with UR notes or something, so I thought I’d create a new thread.
I’d like to suggest a map edit history if one hasn’t been suggested already. Google Mapmaker has something that keeps track and allows for easy reverts to previous versions. Would take the guesswork out of trying to repair something someone may have done. Also, what leocylau mentioned in that other thread seems to relate to the idea as well.

Regarding the Editor Note, I like what OpenStreetMap has. Like this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/new#map=17/55.02120/-1.66000&layers=CND

I also like the feature on OpenStreetMap like this:

When you click on a segment, it gives you who is the last editor and there is a history view too.

This is planned.

Neat. Thanks.

This is an absolute necessity, I’m surprised this isn’t an available feature yet… This way you can track changes to the map and hopefully catch ‘bad’ edits by other map editors before they hit they server. Do I sound bitter? :lol:
