#6429 new enhancement

Extend "Jump to Position" function to support different coordinate formats — at Version 5

Description (last modified by katpatuka)

I would like to see the "Jump to Position" function supports different formats like "Add Node (Shift+D)" function does. That will ease switching between different map editing tools.

Also I found the entry of coordinates as "<lat> <lon>" in one textbox is more intuitive.

Hi

I do not know any "Jump to Position" function. Did you mean the Bounding Box Download Dialog or any View->* function ?

You can get "Jump to Position" window by clicking on the latitude or longitude on the status bar, or via the shortcut Ctrl+G.

Yet, another undocumented feature. Thanks.

I often use coordinates shown on wikipedia pages with josm and would really enjoy a Coordinates input field above the Latitude input field where I could just paste the coordinates without having to manually split the lat/long values and paste them separately into the two input fields. The coordinate notation of Wikidata and the English wikipedia should be enough to work with - I do not expect other notations to work:

Wikidata: 28°18'53"N, 112°33'14"E (with comma)
English: 28°16′37″N 112°33′07″E (without comma)
German: 28° 15′ N, 112° 33′ O
French: 28° 15′ 19″ nord, 112° 33′ 29″ est
Chinese: 28°19′34″N 112°33′28″E (same as English)
