I think the preferred attribution scheme is to use source=gps as that is what the actual source is & survey is ambiguous with proper survey equipment. > > As for roundabouts, they're a bit of hassle and I'd love for JOSM to > > do it better but any way as things are I either draw a square and then > > add mid points between the 4 corners to turn it into a roundabout, or > > I draw a triangle and hit shift+o, neither is perfect but perfection > > isn't generally achievable anyway. > > I do the same. Generally if you do the roads and put a node at about 10m from the crossing point on each road then > join the nodes in a clockwise direction it will give a reasonable roundabout when rendered.
