[talk-au] newbie Potlatch question

[jhen at talk21.com]

Thanks Jeff and Ross.

I'm using Fedora 10 Linux on a 1000H EeePC, and I've already had a go at installing josm.  But It isn't clear to me yet just which Java package(s) I need to install first.  I'm working on that in slow-time.

I've got Merkaartor installed, but I'm far from confident with it.  So far, it's not clear to I'm doing when I try to use it.

I've also previously had a go at fudging waypoints into gpx files, but OSM didn't like them.

So I've spent quite a bit of time on this before I asked.

That trick with the "L" key will do nicely for the time being.  Much appreciated.

John

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
