Hi,

I am proud to announce, that a beta version of my software JOSM is
available.

To get it: http://www.eigenheimstrasse.de/josm/josm-beta.jar
To run it: double click (Windows) or "java -jar josm-beta.jar" (Linux)
Additional: Java5. Get it from http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Sources: http://www.eigenheimstrasse.de/josm/josm-beta-src.jar


Abstract:

JOSM stands for Java OpenStreetMap Editor and is a standalone editor for
OSM data written in Java. The current beta can only open/save GPX files
and only from local disk (no fancy auto-import-REST-thingie available
yet).

To actually see something in the Programm, you have to load an GPX file.
If you don't have one, grab it from OSM using the url
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.1/map?bbox=lon_left,lat_top,lon_right,lat_bottom
 
As example to see a bit of London, use
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.1/map?bbox=-0.15,51.52,-0.14,51.53
and store this to a local .gpx or .xml file

If you are still not able to grab some GPX stuff and just want to test
it out, download http://www.eigenheimstrasse.de/svn/josm/data/london.gpx
and load this. It contains the probably most visited OSM-map ;-)
