That's one way in which I think potlatch is worse than the older
editor. It used to be the case that someone could trace segments from
satellite images and it would be obvious from the segments that it's
unfinished.

Now, it automatically makes ways, even though you obviously can't tell
from an image where streets begin and end...

Have a nice day,
