Re: [OSM-talk] usercases for josm outside osm
Yes a gpx editing tool is nice within JOSM. What I am looking for are some cases where JOSM or lets make it a bit broader, the OSM editing/worflow being used outside OSM. There are discussions in the geospatial world about collaborative maintenance of geodatasets. OSM does it already. All tools are free, the api is easy to understand (I guess). So if x company wants to do something for collaborative mapping they can use the OSM stack for data input. Are there cases where it has been used already?

Are there cases where it has been used already? It doesn't have to be collaborative at all - I do think that the OSM software stack is capable of replacing a traditional GIS stack for some use cases, keeping the data propietary. Expect to hear something from me about this topic in a few months... maybe for SOTM'09. P.S.: Maning, I haven't forgotten about your data imports...

In the meantime, there's Viking (viking.sourceforge.net), a GPS data management software which supports a number of OSM layers as background and allows uploading GPX tracks to OSM.

Yes i'd also like to have such editing features. also splitting large GPS trails into smaller more manageable sections. Splitting can easily be done manually with a text editor, GPX files are XML files with a simple structure. one of the issues i have is that i can spend a fair bit of time trailing and can upload those trails, but don't always have the notes to go with to identify the specific journey. you have to upload the trail to the web site before you know where it is, and them edit the other attributes to go with it. so being able to use josm to get your bearings about which GPS trail it is before uploading it would be handy... You may open GPX files in JOSM before you upload them. -- Renaud Michel pgp: 0x630E6AC4 (fingerprint: E051 75D0 0E02 4D7B 0384 5D8F 2A70 C289 630E 6AC4) ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Second that. Basically what is now possible with Garmin's Mapsource: see GPX tracks, edit them, display them on a map. For that there will also need to be more map-downloading than z12 tiles only.
