But unfortunately there are cases when it's necessary to have multiple values. The most common of these is if two refs share a road. A road near me actually officially has two refs and two int_refs. Google renders them properly at http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=61.428096,23.785744&spn=0.084233,0.32135&z=12 so we can't be any worse... -- Lauri Hahne _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
