The tools are linked here: <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/wiki/Mapping-and-Community-Tools-Links-from-SOTM-Africa-2017-Talk" class="">https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/wiki/Mapping-and-Community-Tools-Links-from-SOTM-Africa-2017-Talk</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We recently added a few new features to the JOSM paint style for data validation, including highlighting overlapping buildings, roads that aren’t connected to anything else, and dead-end one way streets. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The paint style also highlights overly large buildings, roads that may need to be split, buildings within other buildings, missing layers for bridges or tunnels, and various kinds of potential issues with roundabouts. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The updated paint style, descriptions of what it highlights, and instructions for using it are in the same place as before: <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/wiki/Inline-Validation-Paint-Style-Information" class="">https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/wiki/Inline-Validation-Paint-Style-Information</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are currently using the paint style you may need to refresh your cache in JOSM for the new functions to appear, that information is in the instructions too.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Let me know if you have any questions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Andrew</div><div class="">
