Add points and ways into JOSM

[anonymous]

It would be an enhancement if there would be a possibility that I could add points and ways into JOSM with the plugin. Then I could read out a data file and send position data to JOSM without any GPS stuff. Maybe with a center possibility to the last way point node. That would be an interactive track logger from data files.

Sorry, don't understand at all. Do you like to extend liveGPS Plugin such that it reads from a data file? What format?

Have a look at the gpsfake software, maybe you can already do it.

I think he wants the remote control plugin to become a generic JOSM input interface so that he can basically make HTTP requests against JOSM to import data into JOSM.

framm is right! I want a real-time data logger with data import from files. JOSM is perfect for this challenge. I hope I won`t need gpsfake.
The format is not important. If you say addnode(Longitude, Latitude, Zoom) or addway(Longitude, Latitude, Zoom) I have to change my data to Longitude and Latitude.

I recommend you repeat your request on the josm mailing list. A user name Bodo Meißner said he is about to extend the remote control plugin to allow other tasks.

In [4833/josm]:

fix #5324 - remotecontrol: add ways (e.g., /add_way?way=lat1,lon2;lat2,lon2)

Adding nodes has been added some years ago. :-)
