[Patch] GPX->OSM: convert additional gpx-tags

[Luebeck]

when waypoints of gpx-file will be convert into osm a limeted count of tags will be transform.

it would be good if following tags will be transform additional:

desc => description
cmt => note
sym => gpxicon (this is helpfull if the user defines custom-icons. now he is able to define a special mapcss-file for evaluate his data)

In 11089/josm:

fix #13717 - Enhance and allow customization of tag mapping when converting GPX markers to OSM data

[Klumbumbus]

How does this work? It seems I need to modify the advanced preference key gpx.to-osm-mapping, however I don't have this key in my list. I thought that since a change some months ago all available keys are in the list even when not yet used or modified.

Apparently not.

Found the ticket: #12522

[Klumbumbus]

OK, confusion was cleared in #12522. I added docu at https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/ConvertToDataLayer?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&action=diff&version=8&old_version=7

I don't really understand how to use this feature.
Is it possible to get the timestamp on each node when converting a gpx to a osm layer ?

See the documentation at Help/Action/ConvertToDataLayer

The timestamp is stored in the gpx file with the keyword "time". So you need to add an additional pair in the gpx.to-osm-mapping key in the advanced preferences, e.g. "time""survey_date".

[anonymous]

It doesn't work, and the documentation does not help.

the gpx.to-osm-mapping key isn't in the list so I have to create it. Ok, but which type ? Simple, list, list of lists, list of maps ?
Then I just enter time,survey_date as values ?

[Klumbumbus]

You need to use josm version >11089 or better >11334

Do a gpx waypoint to data layer conversion once, then you will have the gpx.to-osm-mapping key in your advanced preferences. You can modify it then.

[StephaneP]

I was using josm 11223 and now, r11355, and I don't have the gpx.to-osm-mapping key in the advanced preferences panel after a gpx to data conversion.

[Klumbumbus]

Do you want to convert a gpx layer or a marker layer (see Help/Dialog/LayerList#Layertypes)?

[StephaneP]

a gpx layer

[Klumbumbus]

The conversion is currently only available for marker layers. So only for waypoints, not trackpoints.
I don't know if it makes sense to make it available for trackpoints too.

[StephaneP]

For me, it makes sense :-)
x,y,z, time are the basics in a gpx file.
For now, we can edit x,y only.

[simon04]

Let's discuss the trackpoints conversion at #14103.
