That's exactly what was my first posting about. I just noticed the result on the Poznan map and it looked nice and usefull. Though I 'know' that relations exist and what they are used for, I am quite unfamiliar with them so that was the reason why I didn't think about those in the first place.

-1. This would indeed be satisfying the wish for nice line labeling on tram lines in the short term. However, implementing this one-time might encourage others to just tag tram lines in this fashion and not even bother about the relations. You know how these things go, as soon as you start doing th

ah yes. Once again didn't think about the info that's included - but invisible - already. Guess one could start a 'shopping list' with rendering issues, like invisible tunnels, oversized fonts in some zoom levels,... Luc On Thu, 2009-04-23 at 09:20 +0200, Martijn van Exel wrote: > I think the

I think the rendering is nice, but it would be better if it would be solved at rendering rather than at tagging level. The labels should reflect the Relations the segment is part of. If you were going to add the relations to the name tags as well, you would end up with something that is quite hard
