There's just been a major upgrade to the openstreetmap today, so first you'll need the very latest version of josm for it to work at all:<br><br><br>A new version of JOSM compatible with the new format is available at
<br>the usual location:<br><br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm-latest.jar" target="_blank">http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm-latest.jar</a>
<br><br><br>I think at the moment the database is read-only, so any changes you make might not be able to be written back for a little while. It may be that when you tried to connect it was still in mid-upgrade. Maybe wait a little while & try again.

Hi,<br><br>>I use EasyGPS and JOSM on Windows, works well for me.<br><br>So now I have the cable, EasyGPS works, but every time I try to try to<br>download map-Data from the OSM-Server with JOSM I get a 403-Error<br>(Forbidden). I see 2 possible reasens: wrong Connection Settings or a Server
<br>problem.<br>As Connection Settings I set<br>the Base Server URL: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/api" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.openstreetmap.org/api</a><br>
as Username I tried bot my Emailadress and Username<br>Password: my password
<br>CSV import: empty<br><br>The reasen I think it mygt be a server Problem is, that the "Platform<br>Status" for the Service www is:<br>www User interface Problems Potlatch currently unavailable
<br><br>But does this means, that also JOSM is not available?<br><br>Dimitri<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>newbies mailing list<br><a href="mailto:newbies@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
