[OSM-newbies] Confused about joining nodes

[Chris Hunter]

Welcome aboard!

1. Combine ways - takes 2 seperately tagged ways and combines them into a single way.  Any conflicting tags are highlighted for you to edit. 

2. Merge nodes - combines selected nodes into a single node positioned at their centroid. Again, any conflicts are highlighted. 
3. Join node to way - attaches the selected node to an intersecting or almost adjacent way.  This one's typically used to indicate an intersection between 2 or more ways. 

4. Glue/unglue ways. Creates or deletes an intersection between 2 or more ways. 

Hope this helps,
Chris
