[josm-dev] proper GPX layer for JOSM

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   Raphael Mack has submitted a rather large patch that introduces a
real GPX layer to JOSM (as opposed to the simple GPS layer we had
until now). One immediate advantage of this is that you can now save a
GPX file properly with no loss of information. The plan is to use this
as a basis for better GPX features in the future, including direct GPX
upload to OSM from within JOSM, and editing GPX files.

If you are interested, you can download a JOSM version with the new
GPX layer here:

The old GPS layer is gone and the markers don't work yet, but apart
from that it should behave more or less like the old GPS layer. I'd
like to hear from you whether this looks fit for inclusion into the
JOSM release (after markers are fixed).

Bye
Frederik
