The node creation tool is not designed for creating nodes for linking
segments segments; it's designed for creating points of interest.
The segment tool should link together existing nodes, click on the first
node, then click on the second and a segment will be created between them.
To create a new set of segments representing a road or path, do the
following:
- select the segment creation tool
- click on the position of the first point of the first segment. This will
create a node.
- click on the position of the second point of the first segment. This
will create a second node *and* the segment between the two nodes.
- assuming the second node of the first segment is the first node of the
second segment, click on it again
- click on the position of the second point of the second segment. This
will create the node, and the second segment.
- continue for remaining segments making up the road or path.
If anyone feels that there is a more intuitive way of doing this let me
know and I'll try and find the time to do it... I guess the most important
thing is to update instructions on the wiki :-)
