Ah, I see.
As I need the ways that share a given node and tags on nodes
in ways are very important I would only store a POINT on the nodes
but not use any GIS-Extension on the ways. (such as POLYLINE)

Do I loose precision if I store the lat+lon of a node as a POINT
and convert it back?
I`m asking because I have an "edit"-button that exports the
currently visible area and starts the latest JOSM with it
so co-drivers can fix mistakes in the map right as the driver encounters
them.
