I am editing mainly in the Warsaw neighborhood. I am generally interested in mapping: bicycle paths, buildings, addresses, public transport (stops and route relations). I am also following and mapping all kinds of public investments in my area, so I actually map almost everything.
My JOSM plugins/styles:
-
PLBuildings – allows importing buildings from Polish public datasets – it contains a lot of features, e.g. to keep the data valid and preserve the object history. There is also the possibility to set up custom datasources, so it’s available for other countries too.
-
FastDriveway – allows easy mapping of service=driveway to properties. Automatically fills tags for highway, splits the way at the fence, and adds
access=privateto the second part. It also adds gate tags at the fence intersection andentrance=garageif connected to a building. -
MoveMembership – an advanced UI for moving membership between objects. It allows selecting which relations a member should be moved from.
-
BusStopTool – allows adding missing bus stops or stop positions. E.g. if there is
highway=bus_stopand a need to addpublic_transport=stop_position, it automatically derives tags, and adds a new node to all relations (with correct PTv2 order and role) corresponding to bus_stop memberships. -
PLMergeAddresses – simplifies merging addresses using UtilsPlugin2. E.g. when merging a new address with an old address, it moves part of the previous address tags to the
old_addr:*tagging scheme. -
Street lamps style – inspired by the OSMStreetLight web project. It highlights street lamp objects in the JOSM editor.
OSM related projects:
-
BUS2OSM – compares bus stops with external network operator data and shows missing ones.
-
OSM Replication OSC Poly Filter – simplifies creating an osm2pgsql database for regional or customized PBF with minutely replication using planet.osm.org.
-
EGiB PlBuildings – used for the PLBuildings plugin – periodically imports and parses gov building data from all Polish administrative unit areas (powiaty).
