Anders, The name tag should not be used for descriptive data. The name for buoys & beacons is usually the name painted on them, often a number or a one-word geographical name. Most minor marks have no name at all. It is an unfortunate feature of imports that the name field often gets filled with inappropriate contents. A necessary after-care process of importing is to tidy up such errors. I have now done so with those two beacons. Wait for it to render to see if you agree with what I did. Always remember that the object is to produce a clear, uncluttered map that conveys just sufficient information for mariners to make pilotage decisions. If a mark is lost in clutter from other marks, then it may not be noticed at all. Avoid, at all costs, the temptation to 'decorate the Christmas tree'. There are some egregious examples of this latter sin to be found in our map! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
