<div class="im">> Thank you Chris for the information.I have the following queries.<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">> Where do I get the aerial imagery?<br>
<br>
</div>Yahoo, landsat, or SRTM should have imagery for your area. Check the<br>
wiki page for India and/or your district to see if there are any<br>
better sources.<br>

<br>
</div>Scanning the walking papers isn't strictly necessary, but having them<br>
open in JOSM makes it easier to tell what track belongs to what map<br>
feature.<br>
<div class="im"><br>

<br>

<div class="im"><br>
> Im not sure about the plugins for JOSM and new to them. How do I identify those required for this purpose?<br>
<br>
</div>There's a summary of most of the plugins linked off of the JOSM wiki page.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> What is the necessity for scanning the walking papers?<br>
<br>
</div>See above.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> How do I upload the trace file?<br>
<br>
</div>Login to your account from the OSM main screen and click on "GPS<br>
Traces" button, then "upload a trace".<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> I just need to mark the waypoints GPX into the data downloaded from OSM?<br>
<br>
</div>Yes. You should have a minimum of four layers open in JOSM:<br>
1. Data later<br>
2. Downloaded GPS data<br>
3. Waypoints GPX file<br>
4. Reference imagery (either aerial or walking papers)<br>
<br>
There are several howto videos on the wiki and youtube on how to edit<br>
with JOSM that may be helpful.<br></blockquote><div>> I would check them. Thank you. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
