[OSM-talk] question about untagged green points

[Hillsman, Edward]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have not tried JOSM yet, but mean to, and this is another reason for me to move that up my list of things to do. For the student projects, I'll leave the choice up to them at this stage. But my real reason in writing was to be able to answer a question about what these points are and where they come from.

did you give JOSM a try? It doesn't suffer from partly loaded data,
which might be the issue in your case.

cheers,
Martin
