[OSM-newbies] When and what to upload

[Andy Robinson (blackadder)]

Always connect new ways to existing ways so that you know all ways are
properly joined. If you need to use the last node in a way then that will
indeed make a continuation although its pretty easy to split the way at that
point later.

Cheers

Andy
