Layer > Convert To Data Layer

Creates a new OSM Data Layer comprising a way for each track in the GPX data, consisting of a node in sequence for each track point.

This is very much only a starting point. You will need to split the ways up, connect them with correct topology, move nodes around, thin them out, tag them and so on. Never upload raw converted ways!

When converting a Marker Layer the following "tags" of the marker will be converted to osm tags:

marker tag	osm tag
name	name
desc	description
cmt	note
sym	gpxicon

You can adjust or enhance this list by modifying the key gpx.to-osm-mapping in the Advanced Preferences. The key gpxicon is intended for custom icon display within JOSM, so make sure to not upload any keys which should not be part of the osm database. (See also #13717, the implementation of this feature.)
