2000 node API limitation #1979
Comments
Author: Edgemaster Yes, the limitation is intended, split the way manually and use multipolygons (if an area). |
Author: delta_foxtrot2 For ways with > 4000 nodes it doesn't seem possible to split them, at least not easily or at all in JOSM or potlatch, if there is an easy way please let me know because last time I tried the way was completely deleted and I had to rejoin the nodes manually. |
Author: smsm1 Give me the way ids, and I'll see what I can do for you. |
Author: delta_foxtrot2 I can only give you examples as I come across them, but take this way for example, it has over 15,000 nodes... http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/32263454/history All attempts to do anything with it results in errors. Also wouldn't there be a way to find these ways with large numbers of nodes and split them automatically so it doesn't cause problems for anyone? |
Author: smsm1 I have fixed the above boundary in the following changeset http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/1675417 |
Author: delta_foxtrot2 How did you fix it so I don't need to file bugs about each way with > 4000 nodes ? |
Author: smsm1 I downloaded the full version of that way. Loaded it into JOSM. Roughly every 500-1500 nodes along, I zoom in and download that area, and then split the way. I do this repeatedly until there is no way more than 2000 nodes in the downloaded data. The current selection panel on the right is useful for this, as it tells you the number of nodes in a way. |
Author: delta_foxtrot2 Before when I tried that with JOSM it seems it was deleting the way and then uploading each step, and since the first break would still have a way over 2000 nodes it was failing to accept the changes. |
Author: smsm1 I'm using the default atomic diff upload. If you have switched to old style non-atomic upload, it may not work. I'm hitting the button P to split the way. |
Author: TomH I believe all the overlong ways were split up some time ago. |

Due to this limitation any ways that exist in the system already, such as the ABS boundaries for Australia, cannot be easily altered in any way without getting errors back when you attempt to upload changes to the system.
Either the limitation needs to be relaxed, or any way in the system that exceeds 2000 nodes needs to be split.
