[talk-au] JOSM Woes.

[Stephen Hope]

Hi.

To join two existing nodes, use select mode (shortcut s) to select one node.
Change to Draw nodes mode (shortcut n) and click on the other node.
Sometime it will make a new way, sometimes it will extend an existing one

Two join two (or more) ways, select them, then on the tools menu click on
combine ways.  Note that it is a lot more picky about what ways can be
joined than it used to be.  You can't join a way in a T or Y shape, for
example.  Before, that wasn't a problem.

It won't even allow a P shape, although that can be described a single
string of nodes, so it must have some rule about only the first and last
node are allowed to be the same (because you can make an circle).
