Osm XML Wizard

Overview

This dialog can be found in ‘Menu-Project-Osm XML Wizard’. It converts map objects to OpenStreetMap XML elements.

This functionality is highly experimental and might be used in order to create artificial maps. It mainly serves test purposes.

Hereby waypoints will be converted to nodes and tracks will be converted to ways. The route shapes will not be converted.

In order to connect trackpoints to waypoints or to connect ways just zoom in as far as possible and superpose the related nodes. In order to connect ways both ways have to share superposed points. The algorithm recognizes similar positions and ensures that same positions result in same nodes. The lat/lon distance has to be less than 0.00002deg.

For naming and tagging edit the objects and add tags to them like in the example below.

Because trackpoints can not be modified in FancyRoute one has to superpose a waypoint at the related position in order to add house numbers or other node properties.

Best practice

Primarily create the vertices of the road net by using waypoints and then connect the related points by one or more tracks. During drawing of a track line the cursor will snap to the waypoints. Create the names and tags if the road net is done.

Tagging

The names of the waypoints/tracks basically result in name tags. All further necessary tags can be added to the comment section of each waypoints/track.

Example

"key1":"value1",
"key2":"value2"

will be converted to:

<tag k="key1" v="value1"/>
<tag k="key2" v="value2"/>
