[OSM-talk] Overlapping ways warning for areas
I have created a number of landuse areas which are divided by ways. E.g. a natural=wood area abutting a landuse=farm area with a highway=footway running along the join. Where they join, the two areas share the same nodes, as does the footway which goes along the join. However, JOSM's validator is complaining of overlapping ways. I know there is some contention as to whether sharing nodes is necessarilly the right thing to do, but in this case the footway really is the thing that divides the woodland from the farmland - should I take notice of the validator and change the way I have drawn the land use areas (I guess I could move them to layer -5, but shouldn't landuse areas default to being on the lowest layer anyway?), or should I just ignore the warnings? - Steve xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Would there be any bad side effects of the validator never warning of overlapping ways where one of those ways has area=yes? - Steve xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Ignore the warnings, they were mostly as a warning to inform you that there happen to be two ways there rather than as an error. The validator plugin should probably move it's level down to info from warning (can't remember what it is at the moment for certain) Also see: http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/774 On 6/2/08, Steve Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have created a number of landuse areas which are divided by ways.
