A discontinued, very limited online editor that was very easy to use | |
The OpenStreetMap Amenity Editor (http://ae.osmsurround.org/) was a simple online tool to create and modify nodes (including points of interest, POIs) on OpenStreetMap. It allowed the user to quickly insert new amenity information into the map and came with a palette of template amenities with recommended and/or often used key-value tag information. Missing information, such as opening times or addresses, could easily be entered by the user.
History
International throwing of nodes
From February 9th, 2013 to November 16th, 2016, Amenity Editor remained 32-bit and was incompatible with the now 64-bit OpenStreetMap, which caused many nodes edited by Amenity Editor to be accidentally thrown random, enormously vast distances. Eventually, the OAuth for Amenity Editor was revoked, making it unable to create edits. The problem was fixed in the 13th and second-last Amenity Editor release, 0.94-SNAPSHOT.
Versions
There were a total of 14 Amenity Editor releases[1]. The first release of Amenity Editor was 0.82, released on on Aug 31, 2011[2]. The final release of Amenity Editor was the unlabelled version 0.96, released on November 16, 2016. Version 0.96 was left labelled as the previous release "0.94-SNAPSHOT" on the website and never updated.
Authorization
