For our parkour group, we have a list of spots with custom pictures of the spots, embedded right into google maps, so you don’t have to click on any other website. This is quite cool and convenient. Is there any way to move that list (manually is ok) to OSM? E.g. in a city guides functionality, which I have some memory of, but don’t know where it comes from.

    I guess you write about the base64 images.

    I tried some of them none of them work, they are truncated to 255 characters. I checked the history of some and all of them was added in iD, JOSM gives you a warning if you want to upload a value longer than 255.

    Maybe they should be removed?

      @infeeeee @openstreetmap
      Yes I was.

      In the current state they are useless for showing the images, but it might be better to keep them temporarily and use the changeset information to contact the original ‘uploader’ and see if they’d be willing to upload via e.g. @MapComplete (who have a @panoramax instance now).

      iD should not be allowing the creation of these so I think someone should open a bug report if it isn’t already fixed.
