<quote> Embankments that share a way with a highway, railway or waterway are rendered with "spikes" on both sides. (Currently only in Osmarender.) Micro-mapped embankments should be rendered with the left-hand side of the way being the high side and the right-hand side being the low side. (Currently nothing supports this however.) </quote> Like I wrote in the wiki a few hours ago: The micro-mapping approach is not supported by anything. Osmarender is the only renderer (known to me) that does anything with embankments and it only looks good if you use embankment=yes or man_made=embankment on the same way as the railway/highway/waterway. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
