Personally I'm not seeing a lot of harm in excess nodes. Of all the things you could do wrong, it ranks pretty low in harm. Also as John pointed out use the simplify tool before uploading. > John referred to a simplify feature in Potlatch, which I can't find. There's "tidy" which only works when the entire way is straight, or circular. And I see a reference in a mailing list to a simplify function for converting GPX traces. Is there really such a feature for ways? Steve
