I've created a generated JOSM file, and I want to test it out to see if it works. How can I open it along with the map data in order to show what has changed? EDIT: Perhaps I haven't explained what I want to do correctly. I'm going to expand on it a little bit in order to provide some clarity. I have some official building plans that were converted to OSM format for a certain building complex. I wanted to have them replace the current buildings in OSM (and also add ones that weren't there yet) because they are more accurate. I wrote a short script that compares the buildings as shapes and then creates a JOSM file that replaces certain buildings that were deemed to be matches with my data. I then plan to manually clean it up and make sure it is fit for submission. I want to be able to apply these this generated file to OSM. The file has additions modifications and deletions. Is there a way I can merge them or something? |

Open it in JOSM and underlay the OpenStreetMap Mapnik Layer (you find it at Imagery). hth I've updated my original post to be more clear.

I am not fully sure if I understand your question correctly, maybe you can clarify.

Answer to the updated question: For to you wish to comparison I cannot help much more as what I pointed out above. Maybe it is also helpful for you to download the unaltered OSM data into one layer and open the date you created in an other layer above the previous one so you can see differences of the outlines. Maybe someone comes around with a more sophisticated answer... meta: I do not see much usefulness in mixing answers to different questions. That is not good for people who find this question in the future. Do you see this in a different way?

Just to avoid any misunderstandings, if you are planning to upload a generated file to OSM then you will have to follow the import and/or mechanical edit policies which include discussing the scope and contents of your file before you upload.
I have been looking at that page, and I don't plan to have a bot update sections by itself. I'm using a script to help in the editing process. Someone is going to go through by hand and make sure everything is correct.
side note: "official building plans" - are they public domain? free of any copyright?
Yeah, they're free.
"apply these this generated file to OSM" and "Is there a way I can merge them or something?" is now your question? Quite a different one. Please search and if you cannot find, ask it in a new question.
