JOSM has conflict resolution, but it's really poor and I usually ditch changes and start over 7 or 8 times out of 10. There is also a limit on the age OSM will accept changes. You might be best using 2 layers, 1 layer for the downloaded data, the 2nd layer for your changes, that way everything you do will be "new", the only thing then would be to download a fresh downloaded layer when you get back to make sure you aren't duplicating. In any case I wish you the best of luck it's not something I'd want to try :) Maybe you could try the main talk list, maybe they can suggest things people have done in africa with limited/no net connectivity. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] What's the best way to edit on holidays?
In the past when I have gone on holidays, I have uploaded the GPS tracks at the end, then (usually over a couple of weeks) added the roads via Potlatch using audio annotations made during the trip. I have been thinking about whether there is a better way. I might be going to Flinders Island later this year (currently no roads on the map), and will definitely be going to South America and Antarctica next year (I should be able to complete the Antarctica highway system on the trip :-P ). Here's what I have been thinking: 1. Before the trip, download the data in JOSM and save it. 2. During the trip, make changes / additions as I go. 3. On my return, upload the changes (as I generally don't have internet access on the trip). There is one major snag that I can see - prior to uploading I will need to download any changes made since I initially downloaded the data. (For the overseas trip this would be several weeks worth of changes, although I'm sure not much would change on the Antarctic peninsula!) What happens to ways that someone else has changed? I assume that the way on the server would have priority, but how does that affect junctions added to the way when I've added a new way? Will I need to re-do these junctions before uploading. Hopefully someone else on the list will have already dealt with this problem.
