I cannot move a point to a known latitude,longitude location with ID
Vum Andrea Spinelli matgedeelt de(n) 23. Juli 2022 op English.During a hike I noticed that a small wooden chapel in a wood in Sudtirol, northern Italy, was placed incorrectly.
I made an exact point (8m precision) with two different apps which average the GPS points; I used 100 points. Latitude/longitude were 46.7138607/12.3411447 , just to be clear; I wanted to move the Kapelle at that position.
However, I found no way of directly entering the coordinates in the description of the point using the ID online editor. I had to resort to trial and error with the openstreetmap standard viewer, repeatedly using right-click/show address to obtain coordinates.
I tried to export data from the apps, but the format was rejected - apparently OSM expects polylines and not single points.
Is there any way to use this detailed information in a direct way?
Thanks in advance to everybody who knows…

iD unfortunately can’t do it. https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/7435#issuecomment-601941362
Try Level0 http://level0.osmz.ru

In fact, you can do it also in iD as described in the many Github issues on this topic. I’m providing a short summary of all the steps needed:
46.7138607,12.3411447
in the search bar, hit enter, then select the “location” in search results.Bemierkung vum andy mackey de(n) 24. Juli 2022 um 16:06 Auer
You can drag a stored waypoint or a file with several into the open iD window and you will see the waypoints. See this answer https://help.openstreetmap.org/answer_link/85172/

JOSM has a tool to place a node at an exact latitude/longitude. You will find there are a lot of things iD can’t do (or can’t do easily) that JOSM can handle no problem.
To me, the one thing iD handles better than JOSM is turn restrictions, though at least JOSM has a usable turn restriction plugin editor when needed.
