Like John & Tom, in JOSM I set the scale bar to 30m, then use Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down to move systematically down & up columns. After zooming in to work on an area use use "zoom to previous" (8 key) multiple times to get back to my 30m scale, then continue up or down the column.
But a grid background at 30m scale that fits my monitor would be sweet. On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 5:16 PM, Tom McDonald <tmcd...@gmail.com> wrote: > Simliar to John, but at 30m.
