[HOT] Project validation

[Ralph Aytoun]

Hi John,

JOSM has the facility to add Map Paint styles with a validation function
that highlights any building that is not tagged as building=yes.

In JOSM go to the drop down menus along the top. Select "View" then "Map
Paint Styles" then "Map Paint Preferences".

In the selection window scroll down to "Missing Maps / Youthmappers
Validator Checks", select it then click on the transfer arrow to add it
to your active styles.

You can open a panel on the right for the styles by clicking on the paint
palet icon in the tools down the left side of your JOSM.

Hope that is of help.

Regards

Ralph
