there have been a number of good replies. i'll add in something i don't think others have addressed... the default mapnik rendering on openstreetmap.org will never, ever be able to satisfy everyone. there's a reason why OSM has a strong architecture of map database, a well defined api/data interchange format, and multiple data consumers (renderers, indexes, routing engines, etc.) the track and path issue you identify is a subtle one, and like others, i suggest experimenting with potential improvements and if you get something better going, present it. "make this better" is kind of an open ended, what does better mean anyway sort of deal. richard -- rwe...@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search
