yes, we've thought about that, and realise that some of them should stay unmerged. the specific example we have from the import so far (there will be more) are fences round the edge of golf courses. the fence and the golf course edge do coincide, but the import scripts we're using have created duplicate nodes, as the two imports are from two different shape files within the same data set _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
