I am mapping in JOSM,and i find when i zoom out to look at my work, I cant see any of it because the place names are taking up so much room. How do I get the names of towns to go away so I can see the map? |
Under 'View', 'Map Paint Styles', 'Map Paint Preferences', I chose the 'Less Obtrusive Nodes' option and that seems to clear my screen of Placenames until I zoom in quite close. |
You can also use filters. Add "place" as a filter and all place nodes will disappear from view. I use filters all the time and have some permanent filters of objects I don't want to mess with or accidentally connect roads and areas to, like boundaries. |
