Not an expert on JOSM at all, but it would appear that after drawing (and selecting) a square, you can hit the letter Q or select orthogonalise from the Tools menu.

I do it this way:

  • draw a long straight line
  • add to this line another line which is rectangular (press a)
  • split the two lines (select the node between them an press p)
  • now you can use the parallel-tool to copy both lines many times in the favored distance (shift+p)
  • at the end, select all lines and press j to create nodes at the intersections

(I hope the shortcuts are correct since I don’t have JOSM here…)

Orthogonalise does not work well. Using angle snap normally works best (https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/Draw/AngleSnap). You can also use this plugin: osm.wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Create_grid_of_ways. If you use the plugin, make sure you add detail and make it interesting.

There is a JOSM plugin for this, where you can put nodes on two different ways and the grid is drawn for you.

You can use angle snapping (a a) or orthogonalizing (q)

The way I did it (described above) leads to a perfect result (not only orthogonal, also equally spaced)… http://opengeofiction.net/#map=19/51.59427/34.08062
