Rendering major roads like rivers or forest is not a good idea. We were just used to it, which make it not good. > It is not only a british color, motorways are signalled in blue also in > lots of other countries in europe. The German highway signs are blue, but there is no German map showing blue motorways. After seeing my hometown Aachen I was really surprised how good the structure of road class is. I never saw it with the old style with its random / jumping colors. From the motorway there are big roads like branches into the city centre. > But that is not really the issue.

Do you really have to? To understand a city I need a comparison, no absolute road class. I do not care if the road is a motorway or trunk if this road is the only large road into a city. -- Holger ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
