Turns out someone had been doing lots of splitting ways to add parts to a Euro-route relation - and there may have been server communication errors when edited with Potlatch. The upshot was that one carriageway of the M62 had become a straight line and I think something like 4 nodes remained (previously around 40-50). The api, data browser (i.e. www.osm.org/browse/...) and Potlatch still showed these extra nodes in the way (even though the nodes had been deleted). JOSM and the data layer showed the correct info. Interestingly, when I tried to move just one of the nodes in JOSM - and then I saved it - the api, data browser and Potlatch then reverted to the correct info (i.e. excluding the deleted nodes). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
