That's what I'd say about starting up using JOSM again, Andrew: "start small." If you've already got it up and running (proper Java runtime environment installed, a good command-line to start it, if that's how you do it...), yes, it can be intimidating: like piloting a jet plane or an aircraft carrier! But really, what you want to do is find the few "pedestrian" kinds of things you might do: like splitting a way (select the node on the way, press p), doing a Find command for tags and all the other fancy syntax you can do in JOSM's Find dialog (find ways only, find things by their OSM identification #, exclude things you find from other things you INclude...), displaying "everything that is currently selected" (press the 3 key), shift-clicking to multiply-select, using more than one layer at a time (learn how simple it is to learn those checkboxes and "eyeball" icons in the Layers pane...) and so on. A little bit at a time. Just what you need to know to do a simple edit. Then a slightly more complex edit with a new skill (keypress or menu selection...). And so on. You'll "ladder up" your skills just fine, it takes a bit of time and practice, like all things worth learning how to do.
Good luck, have fun, be resourceful (ask, read wiki...). Mapping in OSM is meant to be FUN! _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
