Re: [talk-au] JOSM uploads past 2000 points

Andrew, I don't think the current definitions in OSM provide well for the range of 'parks' you will encounter. I think its probably best to try and at least define the borders between various sections, even if you end up labeling them all with the same. For example near me there is a section of

Hi Ian Thanks for looking at this. Err, I not to sure what I am looking for as this is the first time I have seen changesets. One strange thing though. In Polatch 2 the lake is no longer coloured blue like other lakes. Is this a side effect of having an island? Cheers Brett From:

Well OSMI takes a while to update sometimes. However the history of the relations tells us that the ways that made up the original relation were deleted, new ways were created and added to a new relation. This left an empty relation. The existing relation may or may not have had a bad geometry,
