http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.72859&lon=-1.21865&zoom=16&layers=B00FF should make a good test case - a single road with three names within about 500m. "Littlemore Road" should fit in twice at z16, and looks like it'll fit in only once at z15. I think I'd prefer marking name boundaries rather than (as well as?) doubling names. I must really finish getting the warren-o-buildings done for the shopping centre to the N. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
