[talk-au] newbie Potlatch question

[Jeff Price]

Hey John,

Welcome aboard,  I tend to use josm but could suggest this for PotLatch,

Use the 'L' key to have PotLatch show the lat/long of the mouse position.

Export/import your waypoints into OSM like you do the track logs, then use the 'L' key to cross match the PotLatch gpx dots to your waypoints.  (alternatively if OSM doesn't like the waypoint gpx format, you can manually enter them into an old gpx trace and retry the upload into OSM)

There's a heap of info here too

Jeff.

Subject: [talk-au] newbie Potlatch question

I've been reading this list for a while, and hope it's the right place 
to ask newbie questions.

As a beginner, I've been mapping local roads, cycle paths, footpaths and 
things with Potlatch without any real problems.  Usually, I've been 
uploading gpx files from a Garmin 76 CSx.

But I can't see how to enter information based on lat/long, and which 
isn't in the Garmin's gpx files.  These will generally be waypoints I've 
marked, like the position where road surface changes from sealed to 
unsealed.

How do you do get that sort of information in?
