[OSM-newbies] JOSM preference set up

[mclay]

Thank you for the tip Andy.   I did unchecked the wireframe option and all
the OSM lines turned grey (untagged).  I went into preferences to change the
color option for untagged items and everything turned to my selected color
blue.  I know there are residential, motorways, and service lines in the
area I'm looking at.  So, does anybody know what is going on.   All the
roads look to be tiger lines, does that have anything to do with it?

Thanks,
Mui
