Hi OpenStreetMap community, I've been working with OpenStreetMap and JOSM recently, alongside with Pyosmium and other Python libraries, and using a local copy extracted from the OpenStreetMap webpage. My goal is to get my actual position (I already have my coordinates lon and lat), and create a new node in that position. I have achieved this step using Pyosmium and modifying the .osm XML file. The problem is that I want to keep repeating this step (getting new position and modifying the node previously created with the new coordinates), and I would like to have the possibility to see it in an editor such as JOSM, but it does not updates or reloads the file once I have changed it using a Python script. Do you know if there is any other editor/display that allows me to do that, or if there is any option I can manage to do so with JOSM? Right now, the only solution I have achieved is to open the file again inside JOSM to reload the content of my .osm file. Just to clarify, I dont have any intention to update the OpenStreetMap database, I'm just working locally with the .osm file. Thank you so much for your help! asked 24 Apr '18, 15:13  escrei1584 |
One Answer:
You could look and see if any of the remote control commands work for what you want to do: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/RemoteControlCommands I don't see a way to delete a point, but maybe just creating a new node at each update works for your purpose? Otherwise I expect you'd have to make a JOSM plugin. Your usecase at least sounds similar to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/LiveGPS answered 24 Apr '18, 20:22  maxerickson |
Thank you so much! I managed to get it working using the remote control commands and adding the node each time to JOSM.
