Hi everyone,
Thank you Harald, James and Kevin for your replies. We currently
follow the proposed mapping methods in the Wiki [1] James had
mentioned. We have observed that there are name tags given for
junction nodes[2] in which destinations were given. Is this a
previously agreed tagging method to render destinations on nodes or is
there any particular reason the name tags were given to the junction
nodes? Is it okay if we delete these name tags on junction nodes now
that we are giving destination, destination:street tags to the exit
ways?
Cheers,
Manohar
