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.
