<br>
I usually do sort of use a hack to see points from shp files.<br>
<br>
I select all and then give them all a tag that renders so you can see the points like place=locality.<br>
<br>
You might need to change the key for the name field to 'name'<br>
<br>
And of course depending on how many you have that might be too large of an icon.<br>
<br>
You can also create a custom mapCSS file to render them more to your liking based on the key=values they already have.<br>
<br>
And I am sure there is probably a better way than either of those two as well.<br>
<br>

I would like to open a shapefile in JOSM for use as reference when<br>
manually editing (I am not doing an import). Using the Opendata plugin I<br>
can do this, but I can't figure out how to change the rendering and<br>
labeling. I don't need anything fancy, just a larger/brighter symbol<br>
(it is a point file) with the names from the shapefile labels. Any ideas?<br>
