Hi Frederik, would you be able to please include a possibility to download data from osmxapi using tagwatch? Currently links from tagwatch (e.g. for Europe) point to a download for an osm-file which you can then manually load into JOSM. However such a link would allow to click on a mis-spelled tag you find in tagwatch and instantly correct+upload it. (e.g. I've lately found "namee" which actually meant "name" in the list etc.) Regards, Stefan _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
