| 11 | [[Image(Help/Action/OpenLocation:download-location.png,right,link=,margin-left=15,margin-right=10)]] |
| 12 | This action interprets various kinds URLs to download several types of OSM and JOSM data. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | It handles the URLs being dropped by mouse or pasted via clipboard into the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview], too. |
| 15 | This happens by silently reusing the current state of the check-boxes of the dialog. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The ''Download as new layer'' checkbox controls if the data is loaded in a new layer. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | By default the map view pans to the downloaded data. |
| 20 | When checking ''Zoom to downloaded data'' off no panning is done in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode expert mode]. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | **Note**: [[JOSMImage(paste,link=,24,middle)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Paste Pasting] the URL with an active data layer bypasses the dialog while using the previously set options. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | == Data sources == |
| 25 | If the URL matches several data sources, a window will follow to choose the type of data to download. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Examples of data sources are listed hereafter. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | === OSM data === |
| 30 | ==== Current version of objects ==== |
| 31 | The OSM servers are the main data source you can use here. For instance, if you know the [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#ObjectId object id] of a [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#NodesWaysRelations node, way, or relation] you can load the respective object with one of the following URLs (replace `123456789` with the object id). |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Example of an API URL: `https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/123456789`\\ |
| 34 | Example of an URL from the slippy map: `https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/123456789` |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ==== Older version of objects ====#Olderversionofobjects |
| 37 | You can also load older versions of an object (replace `123` with the version number) |
| 38 | Example of an API URL: `https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/<relation id>/123` |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ==== Changeset ==== |
| 41 | For all objects belonging to a changeset the URL is `https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/123456` (replace `123456` with the changeset id) |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ==== Area ==== |
| 44 | For all objects in an area the URL is `https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/46.20140/4.27022` |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ==== Other servers ==== |
| 47 | Additional to the main osm server listed above, other servers are available too, e.g.: |
| 48 | * [osmwiki:Xapi XAPI servers] |
| 49 | * [osmwiki:Overpass_API Overpass API] |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 | === geo: URIs/URLs === |
| 53 | The geographic URL format can be used to download osm data at a small area around the given location, e.g. `geo:37.786971,-122.399677` |
| 54 | |
| 55 | === Notes === |
| 56 | * If the URL contains `/note/123456` you can choose if you also want to download the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Notes Note] with the given id. |
| 57 | * If the URL contains `&layers=N` you can choose if you also want to download the Notes in the given area. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | === GPS === |
| 60 | * URLs ending with .gpx |
| 61 | * OSM user traces in the format `https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/foo/traces/2277313` |
| 62 | * OSM user traces in the format `https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?gpx=2277313` |
| 63 | * OSM user traces in the format `https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?gpx=2277313#map=14/-20.7321/-40.5328` (which can also be found at the [osmwww:user/Skippern/traces/2277313 osm user traces page]) |
