Hi, Today, I ran into a couple of problems with josm when trying to fix tram tracks in Munich. I was using the latest tested version of josm (898). Please let me know if I am just missing something.
(Problem 1 ) Tram lines (railway=tram) are almost invisible: They appear as dark-grey, dashed lines on the standard black background. (Problem 2) I tried to change the colour in the preferences, but none of the variables I changed had any effect. I tried mappaint.rail, mappaint.otherrail, and mappaint.railover from the advanced preferences. (Problem 3) Interestingly, tram lines don't even change colour when selected. Only the arrow-heads become highlighted. (Problem 4) For some parts of the tram route, I was unable to select either the tram way or the street on which the tram way was located. From josm, there was no indication, that there was a tram way on top of a street, other than the drawing style of the way, which looked like a mixture of a street and a tram way. I think this happens, when two ways are constructed from the same nodes (or one is a subset of the other), like in this example: <way id='25976292' timestamp='2008-08-04T18:28:43+01:00' user='user_4133' visible='true'> <nd ref='1954859' /> <nd ref='1954861' /> <nd ref='1954862' /> <nd ref='19224215' /> <nd ref='201741324' /> <nd ref='201741326' /> <nd ref='18292348' /> <tag k='created_by' v='Potlatch 0.6a' /> <tag k='railway' v='tram' /> <tag k='name' v='15, 25, 19' /> </way> <way id='3819306' timestamp='2006-10-23T20:20:14+01:00' user='dankarran' visible='true'> <nd ref='1954859' /> <nd ref='1954861' /> <nd ref='1954862' /> <nd ref='19224215' /> <tag k='created_by' v='JOSM' /> <tag k='highway' v='residential' /> <tag k='name' v='Schloßstraße' /> <tag k='oneway' v='true' /> </way> In this example, the street is built from a subset of the nodes of the tram way. Try to select the street in josm. (Problem 5) When trying to find the example above in the osm xml file, I looked for a method to identify the way xml element from the way selected in josm. Unfortunately, I could not see the id of the way in josm. Only the name was displayed, which is not unique. Sorry, if I missed anything obvious. - Rainer _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
