[OSM-talk] JOSM Name Finder Plugin

[Tom Higgy]

Excellent, thank you!

So often I just want to correct a couple of roads of an area I've 
visited but don't have bookmarked. Makes it much easier to find and fix 
without having to browse around for URLs.

I'd suggest second most useful tool of the month (behind David's name 
finder ;)

Cheers,
