Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input
Dear Bernard, I am not sure if I understood the whole question but here is a short video with the tablet working with FastDraw: https://youtu.be/_mokVKkocOc The new polygon is being drawn with the default node spacing. The lower/older one was drawn some time ago with a more dense configuration (I had to reinstall JOSM a couple of days ago and I suspect I lost my customized FastDraw configuration). And a photo of the tablet itself: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1SzcJdayZrBjAg3K2 Regards, Julio Costa Zambelli Fundación OpenStreetMap Chile julio.co...@openstreetmap.cl https://www.openstreetmap.cl/ Cel: +56(9)89981083 On 15 March 2018 at 03:35, Bernard Justus Muhwezi wrote: > Julio Costa Zambelli > > Hi? > > Thank you for the sharing, could you drop us a clip of some little stuff > using this methodology and sight of things like how large is your top you > are using. > > Thank you once again. > > Bernard/ > > On Wed, Mar 14, 2018 at 4:07 PM, Julio Costa Zambelli < > julio.co...@openstreetmap.cl> wrote: > >> I have been using a Wacom Intuos CTL-490 (probably the cheapest Wacom >> available, around USD110 here) combined with JOSM and its FastDraw plugin >> for over a year now.

Julio Costa Zambelli Hi? Thank you for the sharing, could you drop us a clip of some little stuff using this methodology and sight of things like how large is your top you are using.

Hi All, Great info! I am wondering which folks, if any, have used this in the field/mobile? Would love to hear of experience with that.

Thanks everyone! This is exactly what I wanted to know. I'm thinking that a pen and tablet will be easier for me to control. And I am also trying to get away from Windoze.

Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input
So a Wacom,well yes essentially they are a mouse so yes they can be used but the image would be on the screen and I'm unable to see the advantage over a conventional mouse. The Microsoft surface and pen you can point to the image with the pen but you may find it more difficult to control.

That isn't the type of tablet I am talking about - not an iPad but the type graphic designers use.

Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input
My feeling is tablets are not ideal unless you use a mouse, a wireless one would work fine. It's a matter of control, I have a Microsoft surface tablet lying around it has the computing power but until I used a wireless mouse with it I had difficulty with the pen. JOSM should run under ubuntu.
