I've seen this once before, about three or four months ago, and I also probably performed the action (in Potlatch) that lead to it occurring. I made a note to myself to report it when I'd finished the task I was currently doing, but seem to have forgotten to pay attention to the note. Oops :( What happened in my case was that there was an existing way (riverbank) which was not particularly accurate, and we had gotten some much more accurate data. So I copied the tags from the existing way to my new one, editing all the places where it joined to anything, and then deleted the old way. In Potlatch it looked fine. When I came back to the area about a week later, I saw that all the nodes that were part of the old (now deleted) way were still on the map. It looks like the way had been deleted but the nodes, unused by anything else and with no tags, had not been deleted. As SLXViper noted the nodes appeared very close to the current way, which was because they were just from a less accurate version of the same thing. Sorry for not reporting this earlier, it had slipped by mind due to being a bit busy at the time. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
