v127 v147 1 1 [[TranslatedPages]] 2 [[PageOutline]] 2 3 3 4 4 5 == Introduction to JOSM == 5 6 === JOSM Terminology === 7 [[JOSMImage(data/node,middle,inline,link=)]] Node:: A node is a point. 6 8 7 [[ Image(source:trunk/images/data/node.svg,middle,inline,link=)]] Node:: A node is a point.9 [[JOSMImage(data/way,middle,inline,link=)]] Way:: A way is a line connecting multiple nodes. Way, therefore, is a general term for series of joined nodes, not just for roads or ways in reality. 8 10 9 [[ Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.svg,middle,inline,link=)]] Way:: A way is a line connecting multiple nodes. Way, therefore, is a general term for series of joined nodes, not just for roads or ways in reality.11 [[JOSMImage(data/relation,middle,inline,link=)]] Relation:: A relation is an ordered sequence of ways and nodes, a logical container used to group elements. Only [taginfo:reports/database_statistics 1% of the data] is modeled using relations. 10 12 11 [[ Image(source:trunk/images/data/relation.png,middle,inline,link=)]] Relation:: A relation is an ordered sequence of ways and nodes, a logical container used to group elements. Only [https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/reports/database_statistics 1% of the data] is modeled using relations.13 [[JOSMImage(data/closedway,middle,inline,link=)]] Area:: An area is a way whose ends are connected. 12 14 13 [[ Image(source:trunk/images/data/closedway.svg,middle,inline,link=)]] Area:: An area is a way whose ends are connected.15 [[JOSMImage(dialogs/propertiesdialog,middle,16,inline,link=)]] Tag:: Tags describe what each node, way or relation represents. Tags are pairs of key and value. Keys are basically larger categories, such as "Highway" or "Land Use," while values are specific features, such as "Primary Road" or "Residential Street," and "Residential" or "Retail" land use. For example `highway=residential` is pair of key `highway` and value `residential` and represents a residential street. 14 16 15 [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/propertiesdialog.svg,middle,16,inline,link=)]] Tag:: Tags describe what each node, way or relation represents. Tags are organized into "keys" and "values." Keys are basically larger categories, such as "Highway" or "Land Use," while values are specific features, such as "Primary Road" or "Residential Street," and "Residential" or "Retail" land use.17 If a road, track or path is curved, the curve is approximated using a number of nodes within a way, and short lines connecting them. If a way has a direction, that is indicated partly by using tags. For example, "oneway=yes" is a road that goes only in one direction. Other tags refer to being on the left and right of the direction of way along the way (ie. Coastline). 16 18 17 If a road, track or path is curved, the curve is approximated using a number of nodes within a way, and short lines connecting them. If a way has a direction, that is indicated partly by using tags. For example, "oneway=yes" is a road that goes only in one direction. Other tags refer to being on the left and right of the direction of way along the way.18 19 19 20 == Launch JOSM == 20 JOSM is a Java program, can be run from the [wiki:Download#Recommendedoptions Download page]. 21 JOSM is a Java program, can be obtained from the [wikitr:/Download#Recommendedoptions Download page] which contains download links and link to further help. 22 23 If you don't know how to start it, ask someone familiar with your platform or [osmwiki:Contact_channels other OSM mappers] how to run a Java program. 24 21 25 22 26 == Your first edit with JOSM == 23 24 27 === Welcome screen === 25 26 28 When JOSM starts, it presents you with a few messages about recent changes in JOSM. You should have a look at this page from time to time as it keeps you informed on some of the more interesting changes. 27 29 28 === Downloading === 29 30 The next step is to download some data. You can practice using JOSM by downloading your neighbourhood or locality you know or just recently visited. 30 === Downloading ===#Downloading 31 The next step is to download some data. You can practice using JOSM by downloading your neighborhood or locality you know or just recently visited. 31 32 32 33 ==== OSM data ==== 33 34 Next, add data for that area from main server, click at: [[Image(source:trunk/images/download.png,middle,20,link=)]] [Help/Action/Download Download from OSM] ({{{Ctrl+Shift+↓}}}). 34 Next, add data for that area from main server, click at: [[JOSMImage(download,middle,20,link=)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Download Download from OSM] (`Ctrl+Shift+↓`). 35 35 36 36 [[Image(download-data.gif,600,inline,link=)]] 37 37 38 ''The Download window will be displayed which contains a map of the world.

You need to select a small area for your edit, not the entire globe (thus you will see the "Download area too large" message). 39 39 40 ''To move around the map and select the specific area you want to download, there are several tools: 41 * ''Click with the right mouse button to drag the map42 * ''Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out43 * ''Click with the left mouse button and move the mouse to define an area.40 To move around the map and select the specific area you want to download, there are several tools: 41 * Click with the right mouse button to drag the map 42 * Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out 43 * Click with the left mouse button and move the mouse to define an area. 44 44 45 ''After the "Download area too large" error disappeared and you selected a region, click "Download" to fetch the data from the main server.'' 45 After the "Download area too large" error disappeared and you selected a region, click "Download" to fetch the data from the main server. 46 46 47 === Enable Aerial imagery === 48 49 For most places on earth there is at least one imagery available. You can pick one from the [Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery menu] at the top of the editor. Bing and Mapbox are popular, but there may be more recent resources for your locality. Note that all local imagery resources, which are available for the region you are currently working, are displayed in the lower part of the Imagery menu. 47 === Enable Aerial imagery ===#EnableAerialimagery 48 For most places on earth there is at least one imagery available. You can pick one from the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery menu] at the top of the editor. Bing and Mapbox are popular, but there may be more recent resources for your locality. Note that all local imagery resources, which are available for the region you are currently working, are displayed in the lower part of the Imagery menu. 50 49 51 50 Imageries may have different levels of detail and clarity in different places, so it is often worth checking different imageries. Simply select one of them from the imagery menu and you're ready to go. 52 53 Mapbox-only: you can [https://www.mapbox.com/bites/00240/#3/0.00/0.00 request a better imagery for the region of your interest] ([https://www.mapbox.com/blog/new-imagery-for-openstreetmap/ announcement in 2014-04-11 by Eric Gundersen])54 51 55 52 [[Image(enable-imagery.gif,link=)]] … … 58 55 59 56 === Editing in JOSM === 60 61 JOSM is an offline editor which means everything you do won't be visible for anyone else until you upload it to the server. This makes it possible to experiment and repeatedly moving, tagging, adding and deleting elements without breaking anything. Subsequent actions on a single element will go into the database as a single modification when uploaded. 57 JOSM is an offline editor which means everything you do won't be visible for anyone else until you upload it to the server. This makes it possible to experiment with moving, tagging, adding and deleting elements repeatedly without breaking anything. Subsequent actions on a single element will go into the database as a single modification when uploaded. 62 58 63 59 === Adding a Node or a Way === 64 The first step of actual editing is to [wiki :Help/Action/Draw add a node] or way to the OSM data. You can add standalone nodes or you can add nodes to ways, especially where there is a [Help/Action/Draw#Commonnodeswithanotherway junction between two ways].60 The first step of actual editing is to [wikitr:/Help/Action/Draw add a node or way] to the OSM data. You can add standalone nodes or you can add nodes to ways, especially where there is a [wikitr:/Help/Action/Draw#Commonnodeswithanotherway junction between two ways]. 65 61 66 To add a node, activate "Draw Nodes" [wikitr: Help/EditToolbar#Workingmodes mode], ''either by clicking the [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/node/autonode.png,20,middle,link=)]] button in the left menu bar, or by hitting the "A" key on the keyboard (the button should then be highlighted)''.62 To add a node, activate "Draw Nodes" [wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar#Workingmodes mode], ''either by clicking the [[JOSMImage(mapmode/node/autonode,20,middle,link=)]] button in the left menu bar, or by hitting the "A" key on the keyboard (the button should then be highlighted)''. 67 63 68 64 Then move the mouse cursor over where you want the node, over a way or over your GPS track (if you uploaded one) and left click wherever you want to place the node. A red dot (a selected node) should appear and a rubber-line spans from that node to the mouse cursor. If you create subsequent nodes, the earlier nodes will be shown as yellow nodes. … … 70 66 A series of joined nodes forms a way. 71 67 72 === Adding Tags === 73 Ways or nodes on their own are not of much use unless they are ''[wiki :Help/Concepts/Object#Tags tagged]'' to say what they represent. The [osmwiki:Map_Features Map Features] page shows some popular tags,this page will never be complete about all tags.68 === Adding Tags ===#AddingTags 69 Ways or nodes on their own are not of much use unless they are ''[wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Tags tagged]'' to say what they represent. The [osmwiki:Map_Features Map Features] page shows some popular tags, but this page will never be complete about all tags. 74 70 75 The first step in adding tags is to be sure the [wiki :Help/Dialog/TagsMembership Tags/Membership window] is open on the right hand side of JOSM. ''The [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/propertiesdialog.svg,20,middle,link=)]] button on the left should be highlighted.
