I don't know if there is an easy way in Potlatch, but JOSM has a tool called "add Node" that does precisely that. You can also convert a gpx track to data nodes. Then simply select the points you want and copy them to a new layer. (Or delete the rest.) This should be possiple in Potlatch, as well. __ Sebastian _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
