Hi,
I’m trying to “learn” how to edit.
I’ve decided to download some OSM data, edit it offline, create IMG using mkgmap, etc.
I have some questions which I hope you can help me with.
__Q1
I’ve downloaded the area near “Yarkon Junction”, near “Abu Rabach”.
I’ve then noticed that when using Merkaartor, with “MapnikPlus” view, I see the following node:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/599492635
This node apparently represents the “Abu Rabach” building which stands there.
However, I couldn’t see it when using Potlatch or Potlatch 2.
I couldn’t see it also with the default renderers (Mapnik, Osmarender) in view mode.
- How can I know about nodes like that ?
- Maybe all data I want to add, is already there, but I can’t see it ?
__Q2
- Is there a way to see a background satellite image in JOSM or Merkaartor, as can seen in Potlatch 2 ?
__Q3
Although Potlatch 2 is stated as “online” editor, I couldn’t find information about the following:
- Is the edited data load directly to OSM server, or some kind of queue is used ?
- Is it possible to save the edited data in some online account, without submit\commit to OSM server ?
Thanks for your help,
Si.
