Dear experts, I have a problem with JOSM when adding sidestreets to a main street:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?mlat=52.392142198599345&mlon=9.706647295903071&zoom=17 The main street "Franziusweg" was already there, but the 4 sidestreets were missing. They are part of the same street and have the same name and properties. They end in 3-way "T"-junctions on the main street. I added nodes according to my GPS track and now I'm stuck how to combine these new ways (2 nodes each) with the existing main way. I have tried various things in JOSM (Version 869) but got either nothing or an error message: "Could not combine ways (They could not be merged into a single string of nodes)" As it is now, there are 5 separate ways all called "Franziusweg", the main curved one and 4 segments with 2 nodes each. Is that how it is supposed to be or should everything be merged into a single object, and if yes, how? The only thing I found in the wiki pages is "Way": A way is an interconnection of at least two nodes that describe a linear feature such as a street, or similar. Nodes can be members of multiple ways. (from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Elements) The term "linear feature" sounds like it is impossible to describe single roads with T-junctions. Is that right? Thanks for any hint, Gerhard _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
