For all of you not knowing this great service, I want to introduce it to you:

It's a map showing a bunch of different errors like intersections without junctions, almost-junctions (with unconnected ways), points of interest without name, non-closed areas and much more. All these error types have a little icon on the map, showing more information when you point your mouse at it. Links to edit these errors with JOSM and Potlatch are embedded for your pleasure.
The area coverd by these checks is currently Europe.

And here is the link: http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php

phpMyGPX 0.1 - first release

Posted by es_ka on 4 March 2009 in English.

This is a little web based application to manage your collected GPX files and track points in a local data base. You only need PHP and MySQL (and a web server, of course) to run that.
It features keywording and searching your GPX files and displays your tracks on OSM live maps as an overlay.
Have a look at http://osm.erlkoenigkabale.eu/phpmygpx.php and give it a try! Maybe you find it useful...
