I'll tackle this one first, because this feature, when it was added to JOSM made my editing so much more fun. You might be seeing the midpoint handles. In JOSM, line segments may have a midpoint handle indicated with a "+", even in "select" mode, with nothing else selected, you can grab this handle an move it to a new location, creating a new node, but staying in select mode. It's a super quick way to add detail to a rough sketch of an object. Once you grab one of these handles and move / drop it, it will turn in to a proper node, indicated by a small square. nodes that are junctions are indicated by slightly larger squares. Only longer segments will have these midpoint handles, so you can zoom in to make them appear. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
