I am using my phone at the moment, not my PC, so I can't test this. What happens if the way, or section of a way, that you have selected has a portion mapped in one direction, and another portion mapped in the opposite direction (which could easily happen if different parts of the way had been mapped by different people)? Do you get an error message, or do JOSM and Potlatch go by the majority direction?

Using JOSM it's a one click. JOSM show the drawing direction of ways (with arrows when selected or always depending on settings) and a simple button reverse the selected way(s). Potlach has a little icon with an arrow that show he "global direction" of the selected way and the same icon reverse the way. Not so easy but not difficult. -- Pierre-Alain Dorange OSM experiences : <http://www.leretourdelautruche.com/map/> _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- John F.
