The JOSM Journey Just Jingled...

Posted by gpserror on 14 August 2021 in English.

Well, today I checked in my first JOSM edits.

First was a boo boo. I cheated and used iD to revert… hah.

Second was what I intended as the first checkin - found out that iD was deliberately nerfed to not allow the edit I wanted to do. Still haven’t figured out the best way but oh boy, JOSM was much easier to move a node 10 miles away. Did a few in iD and that was really no fun.

Then a few more edits in JOSM… just to not get annoyed when iD nags “You didn’t fix the warning I flagged.”

“But I didn’t make the warning… and I don’t know enough to actually fix the warning!”

grumble grumble…

Wondering why you have to move a node over 10 miles?? :)

Oh. A business moved, closed up shop at one location and moved everything over to a different location… Sometimes I do wonder whether to open a new node there and delete the old one, though that loses history.
