Thanks for the ticket references. And, that last one is mine. Since it does offer a suggested solution to show lower layer roads as broken lines with transparent fill on higher level objects, I guess I'll not try to retract it. And, yes, I understand. We English speakers can occasionally be out done when it comes to overkilling a discussion point. Which brings me to the point that this has probably gone about as far as it can go, aside from the "shelter" issue. And, I think I'll ignore the trekkers and use "shelter" in a broader sense to cover any overhead protection from the elements, unless someone has a better idea, which should probably be discussed under a different subject heading. -- Randy (aka Turbodog) _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
