I am confused, what is the preferred approach to map boundaries of areas, that in reality are bounded by a street or another way. Whether to draw the boundary over this way (possibly using the same nodes), or to draw them in parallel but close to this way? On the map, I see example of the first approach, or should I say I see examples of both approaches. But on one older discussion thread (not this list, I think), the last post from a senior poster was suggesting the second approach. For me, the second seems to be more manageable for future maintenance. droidguy

In practice, however, this doesn't always happen If the wiki says that then the wiki is wrong. :) Potlatch doesn't automatically make joins if you drag an existing node onto another way. (Drawing a way is another matter.) You can do one of two things: - Select the top-most way, and shift-click the intersection. A node will be inserted in all the ways at that point. - Drag the node onto the way you want to join it to. Press J (for Join). cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Why-quality-is-more-important-than-routing-speed-tp5252052p5255616.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk End of talk Digest, Vol 71, Issue 28 ************************************
