<div>I'm using the same "down & up column" approach to cover a tile, mostly to find buildings, but this is the last step in the workflow.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Usually, I start walking around the edges of the tile looking for all connections of streets to the neighbouring tiles. This is easier done with iD, because you have to load additional data in JOSM outside your tile to find them.</div>
<div>Starting from the major highways, i then try to finish the complete street network inside the tile by following all junctions to their end and back. The same for the waterways. In most cases, this will give you also the largest settlements.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The very last steps are road hierarchy, tagging of settlements, looking for errors using JOSM.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>These methods have been described before by others on this mailing list. Maybe some native speaker could collect them and put in the wiki ?!?</div>

<div>Like John & Tom, in JOSM I set the scale bar to 30m, then use Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down to move systematically down & up columns. After zooming in to work on an area use use "zoom to previous" (8 key) multiple times to get back to my 30m scale, then continue up or down the column.
<div> </div>
<div>But a grid background at 30m scale that fits my monitor would be sweet.</div>

<div>Simliar to John, but at 30m. I find using a consistent zoom level helps you notice buildings since they will be a consistent size. Thanks John for the <ctrl>. I had been using mouse with constant check to the latitude ;-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For finding buildings, I find it really useful to have a filter building=*, with Hide, and toggle it on/off after I think I have all the buildings in a village. Ones you have missed really show up with the rectangles gone.</div>

<br/>
I am looking for suggestions on how different people ensure that they have looked at the entire contents of a mapping square. e.g. How do you ensure you have looked at the whole square and found all buildings.<br/>
<br/>
At the moment I do a lot of panning and zooming and cover a square in a fairly random manner. I would like to have more structured method to ensure I have covered a square. Something like a transparent grid overlay for JOSM. I know that a task can be split and I have done that to a few squares but have also worked on larger squares.<br/>
<br/>
I am using JOSM and am able to figure out how to use all of the functions, sometimes I just don't know what function I am looking for.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks,<br/>
Michael.<br/>
