I should point out <mandy rice-davies> (well, I would, wouldn't I) </mandy rice-davies> that using Potlatch's parallel ways feature will produce much better (read: usable) results for a way with any curvature. Where the way curves, the new "parallel" way will have greater/smaller radius accordingly: a copied-and-pasted way would have the same radius. It looks like this is a long-standing feature request in JOSM: http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/67 http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/199 http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/586 etc. and, of course, the JOSM dudes are free to copy/translate the Potlatch code as they like, because it's PD (cross-posts to legal- talk, ducks and runs away very fast). cheers Richard _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
