Hi Marc,<br>
<br>
I would create a single sample shop node in a new JOSM layer and
save it to an *.osm file.<br>
A shop looks like this:<br>
<br>
<node id='-108978' action='modify' visible='true' lat='50. ...'
lon='5. ...'><br>
<tag k='name' v='Name of the shop' /><br>
<tag k='shop' v='bakery' /><br>
</node><br>
<br>
Then I would<br>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>either edit that file, replicate the node and change
whatever must be changed</li>
<li>or run a perl regexp command to transform another file to
that format</li>
</ul>
<li>reload the result in JOSM</li>
<li>maybe check that everything is OK (esp. in the right place) or
let them do that later</li>
<li>update OSM</li>
<li>save the *.osm file again</li>
</ul>
<p>It can also be done with waypoints in a GPX file, but I know no
GPX extension to add OSM tags.<br>
</p>
<p>Notes: </p>
<ul>
<li>the IDs can be any negative number but must be different</li>
<li>it's important to "save the *.osm file again": it will contain
the real IDs and it can help to make later mass updates</li>
</ul>
<p>If the problem is regexp, I can (most probably ;-) do it for you,
but I'll have to find how to generate the ID.<br>
Send node sample and parseable flat text file (like csv).<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
