Re: [josm-dev] [OSM-newbies] Upload error

JOSM dev folks,

Should perhaps JOSM be able to detect ways with too many nodes and offer to
split them on download? It's very easy to shift a whole way and then end up
needing to upload a huge changeset that bombs on the 2k limit.

I'm seeing quite a few mails and comments on this line from users who have
found they simply can't upload their last hour or more of edits.

Cheers

Andy

Subject: [OSM-newbies] Upload error

Hi,

What is the deal with the 2000 node upload limit? I never had this error
before? And even now I am clearly not adding 2707 nodes like the error
says.The four segments of a single way I am trying to add total less than
500 nodes.

The only thing I can think is that I have to move one node of a lake out of
the way as it is crossing the road I rode along. It was obviously drawn
incorrectly (probably from the Yahoo layer).

Is JOSM including ALL the lake's nodes (from that single node move) as part
of my upload??

Anyone else ever hit the 2000 node limit?

It certainly is a PITA to spend a couple of hours only to have JOSM tell me
I have a problem, and then do it all again with one less way, and then have
to try again with one more less way, and then ... etc.

Curiously befuddled.

Robert

YES!  JOSM shouldn't let you create an edit which can't be uploaded.
