I would like to show coordinate lines (both lat. and long.) in josm. Is this possible? It would be neat to have them as a raster layer, like in some graphics programs. (hope the words "coordinate lines" and "raster" are correct for what I'm looking for ;) |
I'm not aware of any feature or plugin that displays grid lines directly. As a workaround, you could use a *.osm or *.gpx file that contains these lines and keep it open as a background layer. I know, some people use this technique to coordinate work in a group. You probably need basic programming skills, to create this file, or have someone do it for you. It was my intent to organize my own work. With your comment about the .osm-file fresh in mind I just made a osm-file with a handmade simple grid and it works super! Even better than cordinate lines since I can adjust the osm-file to reflect what is finished. Thanks!

Interesting idea. Here's a code to generate such a file (new answer instead of comment, as it's too long for a comment). Just save it as an executable and run it, it'll generate a "gridlines.gpx" file. Should work in *nix; sorry windows users, you'll have to work a bit more for this one).

Thank you for the script. Thats a nice workaround. How can I give each square a visible number. I want to do a little private list. For example. Square 47335 is done, square 47336 is open. |
