I'm looking for a web editor (similar to OpenStreetMap) that works with a map server (PostGIS). This should permit editing and creation of new structures on a map.

What is the best option?

    can you clarify your question - e.g. postgis is a database not a map server. Are you wedded to postgis as your db? what exactly are you trying to achieve? do you have a client in mind or are standards important?

  • I would like to work with postgis as database. And I want to create a map server for traffic simulation which allow add and edit traffic symbols. I don't have any client in mind.

  • How do you define best? Easiest to set up? Easiest to use?

  • Did you see that @Mapperz already posted this suggestion for OpenLayers?

The OpenGeo Suite has a web editor in the form of GeoExplorer. Just add your PostGIS data to the Geoserver component. Load the GeoServer layers in GeoExplorer and edit away.

You can add and edit symbols/icons using the Layer Styles option.

If it must be a web editor then GeoDjango comes with this functionality. The admin feature permits basic editing of map features. It is possible to incorporate the built-in editing functions into your own pages.
