Hi,<br>Thank you all for your help - "Download Object" was the fundamental thing I had missed.<br><br>I had kind of hoped that you would just point me to the nice new user instruction page on the Wiki that I had not spotted.<br>
<br>I'll have a look at improving it, but it is not an insignificant job. How about if we divide the basic documentation into chunks (like a mapping party, but not as good for you), and different people volunteer to update a different aspect to bring it up to date in terms of software, and "custom and practice"? I am happy to co-ordinate, but will struggle to do it all.<br>
<br>I think this would be a big help in encouraging wider participation in the project.<br><br>Could even be a "Project of the Week"?<br><br>Regards<br><br><br>Graham.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 March 2010 23:57, Sebastian Klein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bastikln@googlemail.com">bastikln@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>If you have the problem that you cannot download the entire area because<br>
the route is too long, the XAPI can save your day.<br>
<br>
You will need two XAPI requests, one for route=... and one for name=...<br>
Then you can merge the layers in JOSM.<br>
<br>
(Btw. there is an easy way to get the bbox parameters for XAPI requests:<br>
Select the area in the slippy map of the download dialog. Then go to the<br>
second tab and simply copy the list of coordinates...)<br>

</div>Why not write some, when you have mastered the high art of<br>
relations? :)<br>
