JOSM/Plugins/To-fix

To-fix JOSM plugin

This plugin makes To-Fix OpenStreetMap microtasking challenges available directly from within the JOSM editor.

Instead of picking new tasks and confirming accomplished tasks through the web interface of To-Fix on http://osmlab.github.io/to-fix this plugin allows you to work with To-Fix tasks without ever having to switch out of JOSM.

Installation

• Open "Preferences" in your JOSM editor
• Click "Update plugins"
• Select "Plugins" and check "tofix"
• Confirm with "OK" and restart JOSM

Configuration

• Select "To-fix" from "Windows", the To-fix window will appear as a panel on your screen (at least one layer must be enabled to select options within Windows)
• Select a task from the drop down.

Working with the plugin

Tasks tab

• Skip: Click to select a new task at any time.
• Not an error: Click if a task does not require any editing
