[OSM-talk] Downloading data to JOSM (was SW London)

[Steve Chilton]

Sorry, but neither of these work for me (in Firefox or IE).
I am in OSM view and have copied existing URL into JOSM and now want to
get a butted-up view for bigger display (by getting new URL to paste). I
have now compromised by changing the lat by +/- 0.04 or long by +/- 0.08
and using resulting URL (at zoom=12) - but even that isn't accurate.

PS: does ayone know what has happened to database stats page? It has
been blank for last several days. Is "producer" just away for while or
is there problem? I find this useful info on how much data is being
created and by whom (also sadly as an incentive to keep creating to get
in top 10!).

Cheers
STEVE

He! JOSM is innocent. The limit comes from the server. ;-)

That or pressing Ctrl+left/right/up/down five times (each press, the
view is scrolled by 1/5 of screen)

Ciao, Imi
