OpenStreetMap
Hi,
I think that we have a lot of problems with old POI (which doesn’t exist in reality). I want to fix all POI in my city so I’ve created a very simple tool. This is a beta version so suggestions welcome :-)
How it works:
1) Download data (top right button).
2) The colours show the point age.
3) If point is old and correct (all tags are correct) you can mark it as “correct”. (OSM OAuth is used here)
4) Next time the point should be green and you will be on “checks” list. (Reload needed)
Enjoy!
PS. I don’t like last_check=* and check_date=* :-)

So where is the “checked” information stored, if not in the object’s tags ? A third-party db ? If so, why do you need OAuth ?
Other than that: nice tool, thanks :)

External database. I’ll add dump function in future (of course on ODbL). OAuth is needed because I use the usernames in checks list.

Hi,
your tool is the tool which has lacked until now. People are usually focused on adding new POIs but few people actively look after the POIs in their area.
I miss following features (ordered from very useful to useful):
Less important but useful for spreadening this tool (ordered from a little bit important to unimportant)
Have you thought about uploading the code to a public repository?
Have you thought about translating the interface into other languages? I could do the German translation.
Thank you for this great tool.

Thank you. It is a very simple tool but I’ll add new features. I think that I’ll add nominatim and more editors. Right now is only Level0.
Some stats can be found here
Of course source code will be on github but I need a few days to clean up. Regarding of translations I’ll use i18next and po files.
Thanks for your comment.

Nice tool!
I have a weird display problem with the legend:
Some of the chars will not display; even when i test them on a completely different page: http://jsfiddle.net/qro1ywyz/ . The first symbol will render correctly, the second doesn’t.

…apparently, font support for BLACK LARGE CIRCLE (U+2B24) is very limited[1]. So you could include a font in your page that renders the symbol, or use another char.

Source code has been pushed to github https://github.com/dotevo/unexpired
@gormo: I’ll try to find other (more common) char.

Nice tool, useful
Certain POIs that do not age in 5 years should be excluded as cemeteries, churches, and outdoor amenities, hard to refresh but vital - like springs - they should not disappear from the map
