[OSM-talk] Feature request/suggestion (JOSM and other editors)

[Jonas Svensson]

I did some logging today and now I got a gps trace and a bunch of 
photos. Photos of signs spelling the street names. Now I want to 
use those photos (assuming the signs are not copyrighted...) to 
create ways in OSM but how do I find which photo is for which 
street? I can manually check time of photo and search in the gpx-
file for that time and then search the map somehow for that 
location. It would be easier if I could ask JOSM to search current 
layer of gpx data for a specific time and then select that node. Or 
even better give JOSM the photo and ask it to find the node with 
the closest time stamp as the time stamp of the photo. When I have 
found the node I can quite easy see which way the photo is for.

Is this a good idea? Is there already something like this?
