[OSM-talk] Reading AutoCAD .dwg in JOSM/Merkaartor on Mac

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
If your just going to be 'tracing' from public domain maps (dwg files)
maybe gpsbabel  could convert it to gpx, and trace over it that way
would work?

Would be interesting to learn your findings.

Then we could post it on the wiki (if possable, and explain the method)
