Start as if you simply want to extend the way, and move in such a way that the other way is highlighted (so that there would be a common point created if you would click). Then move (back) to the common point and press shift+click. I myself find it easier to first remove the common point from one of the ways, then re-add it in that way. Still, I have to wonder whether merging the ways is the right way to go here: there is a lot of TIGER-data, and I am not 100% sure all of that data applies to both parts of the way. However, you being in the US, you can probably make a better decision on that. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
