Problem

StreetComplete is renowned for placing notes at the wrong locations, sometime 100 meters off.
When I tried to re-locate a mis-placed note using the iD editor, I failed doing this:

  • Click on the note marker to highlight it
  • Press "m" for "move"
  • Move the mouse, hoping the note marker would move

Well, you cannot re-locate a note like that, but I think it would be nice if it would work like that.
When implementing, an automatic comment could be added stating who relocated the note, and maybe also the positions being involved (i.e. specifically the old one).

Description

Add an easy (obvious) way allowing to re-locate a misplaced note.

This is nothing to do with the editor - moving notes is not something that is supported and I'm not sure it's a reasonable thing to allow except possibly for the person that originally opened it. I don't think it would be appropriate for other people to try and guess what the original reporter intended and move it.

As I also saw the danger of mis-use, I suggested to record the original position. Thus one could "undo" the move. Also (with some logic) hovering over the old position in the comment could show it on the map (if it's nearby).

See streetcomplete/StreetComplete#5581 for details. In particular, noone so far managed to record process leading to this. Also, attempts to reproduce by others failed. Currently issue is closed as user error or device-specific issues is considered as most likely.

Related osm.org-specific (for notes created/viewed on osm.org itself):
#2588,
#395 (already included in StreetComplete itself),
#776/#2303,
#667/#4400,
#1849 (edit/delete note comments -may or may not include editing original note's text-, instead of closing/hiding whole note),
#385 (for notes which are at wrong location due to outdated third-party application, currently already provided by StreetComplete itself)

Editors furthermore have existing issues for bugs creating overlapping/duplicate notes.
