Welcome to OSM! JOSM has good guides on the wiki to get you started:

for example:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/HowTo

First of all, get a feel for mapping with the Potlatch editor on this website. Add some map features in your neighborhood. When you've spent 30-60 minutes with Potlatch, then go to the "Export" tab (on this website), select a map area you want to export to JOSM and export it as OSM XML data. This will allow you to save a .osm map on your local filesystem.

Now start JOSM and open the .osm map you saved before. You might want to download & enable the "Slippymap" plugin (via JOSM Preferences) so you can have a satellite map as an additional guide layer.

I find it useful to have the following wiki page open in my browser whilst I add things to the map in JOSM:

osm.wiki/Map_Features

Happy mapping!

Hi Sanderd17,

Well I have just started using OpenSatNav and I find it a bit buggy. Yes, the data is cached - basically, you have to explore the map area while you have a data connection, thereby loading the map tiles into cache for when you're offline. You then set your Android to calculate location by GPS only (this is generally more accurate in my experience). Go offline and choose "Start Recording" and walk/drive around... that's the theory

In response to your question: Unfortunately, my Android handset (HTC Desire) loses GPS connectivity easily and in this case the GPX trace file being recorded becomes unusable by OSM. I believe there are tools which can fix the empty xml tags that result when GPS connectivity is lost but I have not tried this.

I intend to be patient with OpenSatNav and its developers. It seems to be a good project with capable developers. I will, however, check out Navit...

Thanks for the link to the Android page in the wiki - I was not aware it existed!
