[OSM-newbies] Hello from Tennessee

Hello all,

    I discovered OpenStreetMap through GPS Drive. Well, I thought I would try my hand at trying to help out.

    I have managed to get tracks off my Garmin GPS 60 and uploaded to OSM. 

    I have JOSM installed and most of my frustration has been trying to figure this part of the puzzle. I can download OSM and GPS data into JOSM. I have been able to create points, segments and ways. I have even been able to assign some properties to the objects I created. But, I need some help.

    I created a way, gave it a created by and highway tag. Then went to something else. Now I remember that I need to give it a name (TN State Route 13) in this example, but I cannot figure out how to select the way that I gave this info to.

    Can someone please explain to me how to select an existing way to add or modify data properties?

    I am using the josm-latest.jar file.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Warm Regards,

Joe Hildreth

Waverly, Tennessee, USA
