Display tags on polygons

Often area polygons tags are sitting (correctly) on the area. For example the name of a building. In these instances OSM cannot display the names or the use tag. Is there a setting I can change to fix this? Note I have also posted this on github, being unsure how many people will read it

Custom Over/Underlay maps

I have a pdf that I would like to display on osmand. I thought there was once a time where I could do this if the map was georeferenced. I do not seem to be able to do this other than the pre configured ones. Can this be done? thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed
