[OSM-talk] Merging Offline Edits with the POSM Replay Tool (blog post)

[Alan McConchie]

Hello everyone!

Many of you probably heard about the Portable OSM project that SpatialDev and Stamen have been working on with the American Red Cross.

Here's an introductory blog post if you missed it: https://hi.stamen.com/introducing-portable-openstreetmap-bff9b04c0e16 <https://hi.stamen.com/introducing-portable-openstreetmap-bff9b04c0e16>, and there's the SOTM-US video here: http://stateofthemap.us/2016/field-mapping-at-scale/ <http://stateofthemap.us/2016/field-mapping-at-scale/>

Just today, Seth Fitzsimmons posted an extremely detailed blog post about how POSM merges offline edits with the main OSM database once the POSM unit comes back from the field. The process uses a git-inspired approach to detect which changes can be applied automatically without conflict, and which ones require manual oversight to merge with OSM.

Here's the blog post:

Enjoy!
