This is really slick! It's missing a few key features, like letting me modify some meta details of an object by clicking, or easily deleting an object. I'd also like a way to more easily create a polygon without zooming in really far to put the final point very close to the original point, instead of ending the drawing.

I use http://geojson.io quite frequently to modify geojson data sets, but there are some annoying bugs especially when working with larger data sets. One key feature they have is being able to swap between multiple tile providers, so you can compare where certain features are positioned on different maps.

I recently started a new Geo meetup here in Tokyo, https://GeoTokyo.com - I'll share at the next event.

Thanks

This one is really slick, I wonder how it works with larger data sets. I'll check it out later. Geojson.io is a nice one but I second your comment, anything on the larger side it just crashes for me. I end up just using QGIS with a text editor open for the geojson editing. It ends up being a game of trial and error that gets very tedious.

Good point. Performance is a problem on these tools and I need to do some work on that front as well. My email is on geoman.io - send me a data set and let me try. I will make improvements here in the next weeks.

Another feature which geojson.io provides over the tool presented here, is the table view which makes editing / formating / adding information to a large set of features simple and accessible.

File management (including open local and hosted files) and the availability of different map layers are appreciated features for daily work as well.

meta data management is definitely on my list - thanks for your feedback

I've also been using geojson.io for most of my workloads. The large dataset handling definitely leaves something to be desired.

One thing that they do offer though is the option to view satellite map data, which doesn't seem to be available here. I'd love to give this a shot, but most of my workloads are really imagery dependent, so geoman doesn't seem to be an option.

Thanks for the feedback, consider it done (very soon)
