I've played this game in Mayo tonight, although I altered the query to select even named lakes so that I could add the water=* tag. While at it, there's a lot of lakes created with scanaerial that can do with manual fixing. > I use JOSM's filter feature ( > https://www.mapbox.com/blog/2012-08-15-using-filters-josm/ ), with the > query "name=* and water=*" to hide lakes that I've already named. I prefer to use the josm "todo" plugin, because it pans, zooms, and selects for you with just one click : 1) Use JOSM search (I just searched for "type:relation" because that's what I limited my overpass query to) 2) Click "add" in the todo side-panel to populate the todo list 3) Click "zoom" for the first item 4) Edit the object 5) Click "mark" 6) Repeat.steps 4-5 until done or bored. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
