A projection maps lat/lon points to the screen/paper etc. I'm sure Blaž meant "WGS84 lat/lon" AKA "epsg:4326" ;-) Anyway, to check the projection JOSM is using: go to Edit->Preferences, and once there, go to the "projection" tab (it looks like a pink grid over a globe). Then check that "mercator" is selected as the projection method.

A datum maps points around the earth to lat/lon. A projection maps lat/lon points to the screen/paper etc. WMS backgrounds work fine on Mercator in JOSM. robert. * and a few other things. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Use Mercator projection. But be careful. I think you have to use WGS84 for tracing over aerial imagery.

[OSM-talk] JOSM display is squashed
Hi I've downloaded some data to JOSM but the data is squashed in appearance in the north-south direction. It causes inaccuracies when I map. For instance i drew a rectangle at about 45 degrees, but when it showed in mapnik it looked like a parallelogram. I've downloaded the latest Java & JOSM. Any ideas for a solution?
