How to find a way given its id?

8 1	Hi, A simple question I guess : how to find a way given its id? For example, I would like to know (may be to see on the map?) the way whose id is "way id = 4639304". This could be done with Potlatch2, or JOSM either? Thanks. id way asked 10 Jun '11, 10:20 jmh43 126●2●2●3 accept rate: 0%
