As someone who uses navit, I would also ask that people bear in mind that makes changes that suddenly stop it (and other osm sat nav programs like gosmore) being able to route is really undesirable. I agree in principle that our tagging should not be unduly influenced by the deficiencies and inevitable compromises of renders & routers, but Andre is absolutely right above. ael _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
