Custom Overlay

Open cmoffroad opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Description

While iD provides the option to add a custom background, it's not currently possible to add a custom transparent overlay.

Ideally, there should be:

  1. a "Custom" item in the Overlays section as designed below:

  1. A similar configuration popup would open:

  1. an optional URL parameter that can receive overlay input e.g.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/id#overlay:custom=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy to help implement this if you don't see any concerns with the feature.

Fyi there is an issue about is over at the RapID Repo. It might get fixed there. (Don't have the URL At hand ATM.)

Here is the link I believe: https://github.com/facebookincubator/RapiD/issues/545

I am not familiar with Rapid history, so out of curiosity, why Facebook didn't offer a chrome extension instead of forking iD and duplicating codebases?

I recall Strava building their own iD fork with their great "slide" tool to only give up support a few years later...

This seems to be a duplicate of #3773? Strava is specifically tracked in #9129.

I second this. Was testing a transparent WMS recently and discovered iD doesn't support custom overlays.
