Hi

I am all to aware of the 2000 node limit with OSM but when using JOSM to
create lakes as multipolygons from multiple ways it is easier to create
the ways, link them a multipolygon relationship, tag properties and
upload. JOSM then creates a change set and gives five tries and fails so
if you hit upload again it tries again. Strangely if I use Polatch 2 to
check I nearly always find the lake is added to OSM. On at least one
occasion JOSM uploaded the lake more than once. In fact five times. I
have to exit JOSM and restart it to avoid the changeset wanting to
endlessly upload,

Rather than restarting josm:

Upload->Changesets->Upload to a new Changeset

The old changeset will time out and you can upload to new changeset(s) from there on.

Has anyone else experienced this issue. Reading on the web suggests this
is a common problem with some claiming a configuration setting in JOSM
can eliminate this issue.

Don't know about a config setting but if you have the Selection panel open on the right hand side of the window, then select the object it will tell you how many nodes are used by it. It is then a simple matter to split (Tools->Split Way) the way into two (or more) pieces. If its a loop way then select two (or more) nodes on opposite sides and then split it.

If you do the split after adding all the tags or creating the multipolygon they are copied to the new way.

Cheers

As usual any help would be appreciated as you can imagine it is
frustrating when mapping large lakes.

Cheers
