Hi, I'm a user of JOSM, not a develloper. I have ask similar questions in the Dutch user forum, but only got replies like : "Yep, the validation in JOSM might not be optimal"
I'm a user and editor of the recreational cycle network in The Netherlands and it can cost me considerable time to figure out what's wrong with network relations. Especially so when infact the error report is the only thing that's wrong :( Here is one of many examples : network=rcn note=23-62 route=bicycle type=route Relation ID=1263377 JOSM 7000 Validation : Role forward unknown Role backward unknown http://ra.osmsurround.org/ Great! This relation seems ok. This relation can be connected as one piece. Rating The relation analyzer (RA) tries to assemble the relation data to see if it is in one piece (either a line with just two ends, or Y-shaped, or more complicated). The pieces are assembled using rules which include looking at roles such as "forward" and "backward". If a relation cannot be connected into one single piece, the RA will create more than one. Can someone enlight me please ? Gys _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
