Wasn't POSM supposed to solve this problem? :-) Sorry for digressing.
In any case JOSM can already render "raw" OSM data, so supporting one of the rendering/routing data formats would seem to be unnecessary. You really only need to be able to apply a map style that is similar to a conventional map rendering to a read-only OSM data layer (currently I believe the map styles are not per layer, so that would require sone work) and you would already be set. Simon PS: for further ideas around offline editing in situations in which you would want to pre-download the data see:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas#OSM_Data_Store_.28for_mobile_devices.29 Am 26.02.2017 um 04:08 schrieb Pierre Béland: > Hi Dirk > What I suggest is that JOSM adapt to different operational context out of our > northern countries with high speed internet.
