[OSM-newbies] Managing waypoints

[Donald Campbell II]

So yesterday I was finally able to make a trip to a village about an hour
south of me, it took a while to get a car and driver arranged.  I have a
friend there who sees the importance of getting a map done (they have NONE
in that area) and who was happy to drive us all around.

While I'm tagging and taking notes, I start getting a "Calendar memory full"
error on the Garmin eTrex HCx.  I remembered that it's been a while since
I've downloaded my waypoints, so after the trip is over I get back home and
notice my last GPSBabel import of waypoints was EXACTLY 1 month ago.
Whooops!

The reason is it's such a pain to go through a large set of waypoints and
make sure I got them all, trying to remember what I meant at the time,
etc...

I can sit here for an hour every few days and catch up on the tracks but the
waypoints are a huge time sink for me.

So I'm asking the more experienced guys here, how do you manage them?  I'm
using JOSM for this, but I can try other software if it'll help.  Is there
some way I can put all my waypoints into a list where I can delete them one
by one as they're done? As waypoints are imported in JOSM I can't edit them,
so if I have a large group of them there I have to manually zoom in and
verify each one, but it's easy to miss some.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,
-DC
