Let me add The Netherlands to that category. Almost half has been switched over, while the other half will be done soon during the ongoing import of better municipal borders. > proposal came late and also maybe because many people think that the > relation represents first a boundary, not a polygon. While an administrative boundary may technically be a line, as a concept it describes an area, the whole extent of which falls under some jurisdiction. One of the side effects of switching to multipolygon, is that currently in mapnik, the boundary text labels are not showing for these. That's easy enough to fix, though. Another (imho positive) side effect is that the stacked appearance of boundary lines is also gone. Effectively, it doesn't render the relation anymore, but only the actual ways, which have been and should be tagged as a boundary with the most important admin_level. Osmarender takes the same approach of only rendering the ways, iirc. -- Lennard _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
