Hi, OpenJUMP GIS (http://openjump.org/) is about to get a brand new live GPS extension. I did some testing with the rc4 version and wrote some lines with screen captures into https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jump-pilot/index.php?title=GPS_plugin
Some features: - Unlike GPSD based solutions like JOSM livegps plugin, OpenJUMP GPS extension works with Windows - Nothing OpenStreetMap specific included. OpenJUMP can open shapefiles and read data from PostGIS database. OSM shapefiles from Geofabrik or Cloudmade can be used as such, as well as OSM data imported into PostGIS database with osm2pgsql. Also the new 'tags' column of hstore datatype is supported and therefore all the OSM tags can be accessed by OpenJUMP if the PostGIS import has been done by using the -k option - OSM can combine OSM data with anything else that can be converted into shapefiles or PostGIS, including data from all the various OSM forks we may have :) - Georeferenced images and WMS services can be used together with vector data. - Not suitable for OSM editing. Edits can be saved into shapefiles and with some struggle converted into osm format with tools like ogr2osm.py for further processing with JOSM but it's tricky. So no, OpenJUMP is not an OSM editor. - No routing. Osm2pgsql brakes the topology and even there has been some pgrouting plugin for OpenJUMP I would believe it won't work well with OSM data. Some kind of a workaround is to download route from Cloudmade in gpx format, convert it to shapefile and add then as a new layer into OpenJUMP map. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
