Just a tip for someone starting out on this task using JOSM. After
stetting up the GNS and image layers (including the US Topo and JOG maps
in the area I'm working on), my work cycle is this:
- activate the GNS layer
- select a point
- copy it to the Data 1 layer using Shift-Ctl-M
- activate the Data 1 layer
- make visible the US Army Topo map, which has more places than the JOG
map I have. I only use the JOG map for verification.
- place the point where it seems right. In the task I was working on,
someone had done a lot of the work already, so it was a matter of
checking. I changed one or two of the other person's placements, merged
nodes once or twice where there was a naming clash, and deleted my
copied point when it was clearly redundant.
- reactivate the GNS layer
- delete the original point so I know what's done.
It's this last step that caused me a bit of trouble. I wiped out my GNS
layer several times before I realized I had to make sure I returned
focus to the edit screen before hitting Delete.
