[OSM-talk] question about untagged green points

[Hillsman, Edward]

Some of the areas where I am mapping show untagged green nodes in
Potlatch, and I delete these, but where do they come from? In one case,
I think a series of them may have been generated when my computer lost
the connection to the OSM server while I was tracing a way, and then
could not restore the connection, requiring that I quit editing and
start a new session. But the untagged green nodes did not appear
immediately. They first showed up in a later session the next day. And
I've had similar disconnects that did not produce any untagged green
nodes

 

This has been just a minor mystery until now, but one of the students in
our GPS class is entering data into OSM as part of her summer project.
She asked about these points in the area where she is contributing data,
and I don't have an answer. Now that we have some students involved, I
expect to be getting more questions like this.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
