They are. I guess this is one of the reasons why your waterway hasn't been
mapped.

Put more nodes in the way that shows the river. Had a look at what you

else that can be done.

Yahoo have sent an OSM contributor an email, confirming that their imagery
is okay for use in the way OSM uses it.

To get imagery in Josm, you need to use the WMS menu at the top to add

It is certainly possible, though.

All of that is completely configurable - all the colours can be changed and a
