The most common error i stumble upon is unconnected ways. Duplicate nodes are rare in comparison. So visualizing connections more prominently might reduce those errors i would expect - at least it did for me in the past. > > An even more interesting mode would be to make the first and last nodes > > "arrows" on a way different from the others so one could see where a way > > is split up instead of selecting the way and detect it by the highlighting > > > > I put arrows in " because it would not necessarily be arrows but some > > end/start of segment indicator - probably just some change in line > > thickness or something. > > We could introduce some other colors/sizes for nodes (i.e. end-node, > multi-way-node). That would solve your suggestion. Hmm - i'd rather visualize a way participating in a node. Your suggestion only solves the case with 2 ways. Having more than 2 ways on a node would probably visualize a multi-way-node although one of the ways just heads over the node.
