About

I wanted to share a lightweight mapping editor I’ve built to make it easier to improve MTB trail data on OpenStreetMap. In general MTB trails on OSM could be greatly improved, especially when it comes to IMBA ratings and I wanted to lower the barrier to entry to contributing to OSM.Key features:* Load satellite, lidar or OSM GPS traces to verify trail paths * Dedicated keybindings for quickly tagging a trail's IMBA rating and other actions * Add, edit and split trails to improve trail accuracy * Circle a group of trails to add or update a trail network * Load all trails in a given state or region (US and Canada supported to start) * Upload to OSM as a changesetHope some folks find this useful, let me know what feedback you have!

looks like another mapping tool that’ll probably get ignored like the rest, good luck getting users on board.

lightweight sounds nice, but what’s the stack? also curious about how you handle data consistency across edits.

finally a tool to tackle those messy MTB trail maps, can't wait to see how it improves the data!
