Hi, I'm planing to do a longer holiday abroad and will take my GPS and openstreetmap with me.
I will probably find a lot of new things to map, but I won't have an internet connection at hand. Does anybody have some advice on how to keep track of things to add? I normally add points with notes directly on my GPS (eTrex), but that's very time consuming, I can't do it while driving and I only can add very short notes. I usually get frustrated with the on-screen keyboard within 1 or 2 days and subsequently stop taking notes. Only mark numbered points would be faster and easier, but I would have to keep notes on another medium (paper notebook, netbook). Merging these two data heaps will be time consuming afterwards. As I have a netbook with me which could run JOSM, I could edit live or at least at the end of each day. This would keep the frustration level low. But here is why I ask this here too (and not only in my openstreetmap diary): Is it possible to download the osm data for my travel region beforhand, make edits to it (or to a new layer), and than merge these data back into the (possible changed over time) osm data on the server? Is the conflict resolution/checking engine usable to actually fix the conflicts, or is it just that it tells me 'forget it'? Thanks for any help Stefan _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
