JOSM Tunisia's Presets

Jun 11, 2022 #openstreetmap#JOSM

If you’re using JOSM you have to be familiar with presets (otherwise you should go and explore them).

A preset is a collection of predifined tags + a form for allowing a user to enter other tags related to the main one.

JOSM comes with lots of predifined presets (press F3 to display) and you can download more collections of presets right from the Preset Preferences … menu.

If you are mapping for Tunisia you can download presets-tunisia.xml which contains presets for :

  • Banks (ATB, UIB, AB, …)
  • Fuel stations (Agil, Shell, Oilybia, …)
  • Stores: (Carregfour, El Mazraa, …)

Once downloaded, go to the Preset Preferences … menu, click the + button (beautiful red arrow) and add the xml file.

Registering the presets

Download presets-tunisia.xml.
