JOSM plugin extending Improve Way Accuracy mode with helpers to place nodes at accurate distances and angles.

Installation

Go to preferences (F12) and make the following changes:

  • enable plugin
  • enable expert mode (some features are hidden from beginner users)
  • disable keyboard shortcut W for builtin tool named Mode: Improve Way Accuracy (W): unset "use default" setting and set "disable" (if you can't find this entry, create a new empty layer to initialize tools)

Keyboard shortcut change needs restart, after you will see a new icon on editing toolbar, similar to Improve Way Accuracy mode but greyscale.

Usage

Extended features appear when you press W second time.

  • arcs representing turn angles at nodes
  • node distances in meters
  • node turn angles in degrees
  • a perpendicular line halfway between the current node pair
  • a circle where turn angle of moved/inserted node will be equal to neighbours

These objects follow mouse in real time. If you press Alt+Ctrl, mouse position is ignored, extended helper objects use original nodes. The same display is available any time long-pressing W, even when other mode is active.

Windows key (also called meta, super, mod4) locks new position to the center of equal angle circle.
