Oops, that one's already in there... How about a real easy one? Spring Pond?

Well, I tried and am totally frustrated with the POTLATCH editor. I picked Turkey Lake. I zoomed in to get more detail. The lake did not fit totally on the screen. I then started to plot the lake presuming I could pan the image to continue. I had a lot of problems panning. When I was able to pan, all the points that I had generated disappeared and turned into a blue line. I then exited and started over. I must have done this a dozen times before giving up.

I then tried Lake Nawahunta which was small enough to fit on the screen when I zoomed in. I had simlar problems. Halfway around the lake, I would do something and all the points that I created turned into a blue line. I then would exit and start over and it would happen again.

I have read the primer and watched the video tutorial on the editor to no avail.

PS : I did not do sSring Pond because I don't know where it is. I know Nawahunta and Turkey Lake. There are probably about a half dozen lakes which I would like to get into the map. For now though, I am taking the night off.

PPS: how does the information get from OSM to OSM Cycle? I am really more interested in the OSM Cycle maps.

PPPS: I am sending this note to both you and [email protected]. Hopefully, it works and in the future I will only replt to newbies.
