+50! I have frequently realigned features from good imagery after adjusting for offsets, only to find that I have inadvertently moved a bunch of other ways of which I have no knowledge. I used to spend hours trying to untangle the mess, but these days I tend to take the view that if people share nodes, they deserve what they get. Of course, I realise that it often happens without any such intention by inexperienced mappers in some editors. But life is too short :-( ael _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
