[automatically]. It may be correct to correct the location manually though. I have fixed some bad editing, sometimes seemingly caused by newbies unfamiliar with tools, or just misinformation. Wikipedia even experiences random vandalism, mostly appearing to be by school-age people - something that will likely occur as OSM becomes more popular. It's probably useful to report on imported items whose location has been moved, and examine them manually. OT: Am I missing something, or is it not possible to directly edit the lat/lon of a node in JOSM? If not, can it be added - maybe to the tageditor plugin? I sometimes have an exact GPS coordinate for something and have had to manually edit the OSM file to make sure it's in the right place. -- Alan Mintz <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
