[When] about 1 year ago [Comment] I think for meny you are probably right. I try to use josm offline (no picture tiles work over) then was used to reworking the alignments online to the arial data, which is where I became unstuck. I also found little things about needing to get the latest java to run on a generaly not upgradeing machine a niggle to me too. I've been meaning to write a vector graphic editor for a while so it was good reason to develop a new interface for working in 3D OSM a lot of the time.and also worked simply with cached versions wms tiles I'm not to sure but I had some difficulties with using the sorting seach in JOSM but I'm now about 700 versions behind as JOSM changes so fast. In general I think you are right that a new plugin or interface extension to JOSM would solve it for most people. and maybe I'm wrong for tring to foce it to work offline (with no available internet). I use library and work machine to transfer to the OSM system. Good luck with your mappings, With kind regards, Govanus [Post]
