571	node placement tools	steelman	team	"I whish the JOSM team good luck in the new year and I wish... to have some tools to aid node placement.

 * enter nodes longitude and latitude by hand
 * place a node at a specified distance and azimuth from another node
 * place a node(s) at specified distance from a way (this could help for #67). One selects a way, some nodes and, either, enters the distance in the dialog (I prefere this), or the distance is taken  from one (which?) of nodes. Then every node is moved along a line between it and the way and transversal to the selected way.
 * align three nodes in line but, shift one of the outers not the inner one, so one can elongate already existing way, preserving its direction.

With this set of tools I think it should be possible to draw quite accurately with only masurement tape and few gps points. Think about drawing buildings' outlines."	enhancement	new	major		Core			nodes tools	steelman
