Folks tell me that the Un-Zorro-Tron is less intuitive than its predecessor the Remap-A-Tron. So here is a 90 second video that shows you what a Zorro way is and what to do about them.

If you don’t have 90 seconds, here’s a 60 second video:
If you don’t have 60 seconds, a picture may tell you more than 1,000 words:
This is really a cool idea.
Perfect for the quick osm-fix in between.
But somehow it doesn’t fully work for me. After fixing a way, I’m not taken to the next problem.
After re-loading manually, I’m shown a place without any marker. Now skipping doesn’t do anything and manual reload will bring me to the same spot without marker again. (Chrome 22 on WinXP here.)
Weird – I have been toying around with the page a little, so you may hev just hit the page in the middle of me messing something up. Let me know it it persists.
I think it’d be helpful if in the Help/About you have an actual explanation of what a “zorro” way is. After looking at a few, I figured it out, but clarity is always good! For example, something like “a way that zig-zags due to a data error”??
Thanks – I actually added the link to the video to the page, so I think that should clear things up for folks.
I just visited and saw a “No more Zorro Ways” message – is this true? Is OSM totally clean? ; )
Only the U.S. unfortunately.. More coming, Jeff!
By the way, the problem described in my first comment is now gone.
I’m really looking forward to this implemented world-wide.
Actually, I really like this kind of machine-finds-error -> human-judges-and-corrects approach. It mixes the advantages of speed & coverage as well as common sense.
Have you though about combining this with all the errors types that keepright (http://keepright.ipax.at) or the OSM Inspector (http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/) can find?
would be cool to have this as an app. In between meetings, fix a few errors…then back to work
You’ve made some good points there. I checked on the net for more info about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this website.
