Hi Ian,
As I understand it I can load a shape file into JOSM. From there I can copy an
item from the shape file and paste into OSM. I also gather that there is a
means to have all the tags in the shape file so that when I copy /paste, all
the tags will come with the data. Is that correct?
I am aware of the other methods you mention but given I am starting from a GIS
system (that I know well) I would like to do as much as possible in the GIS
system before opening the file for use in OSM. Before pasting into OSM I would
like to check underlying/existing data to see which is the most accurate. Many
of the tracks I have are not loaded at all in OSM so this will be a very easy
way for me to do plenty of loading pretty quickly.
Cheers - Phil

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand the question fully.
OSM directly allows you to upload GPX data. It stores the tracks, and
they can be used as reference in Potlatch (the "online" OSM editor) or
JOSM (the offline one).
GPSBabel understands OSM files, and can convert them. To get a sample
of what OSM looks like, you can simply download (export) an area
directly from the website. Or from one of the many sites that exports
for specific geographical areas. GPSBabel has limited support for
shapefiles, however - depends on the geometry.
JOSM (the offline OSM editor) supports loading GPX files and KML files
directly, and these can be loaded as a layer. GPX files can be
simplifed and cut/pasted directly into a separate OSM layer - it is a
very powerful technique to cut and paste geodata into OSM while
reviewing, tagging, and removing outlying points.
Ian.
