[OSM-talk] New Export Tab

2008-04-20 Thread Patrick Weber
Just wanted to congratulate whoever was involved in the development of the Export tab. This is an amazing addition to the Slippy Map, and really sets OSM apart from VE, GE and all other commercial mapping sites. It gives even the most casual user an easy access to the data in almost any format

Thanks for that Jeffrey. I agree entirely that rendering should follow tagging and not lead tagging, my main concern at the moment is that UK rendering (blue for motorway and orange for secondary) is encouraging inappropriate tagging. I think we agree that one should clarify first how to tag what i
