Hi Javbw, I want to confirm your point. *You want to establish a new tag such as traffic_signals_area to solve multiple signals rendering. *Opinions on the new tag are welcome from Japanese/Asian community because rendering of traffic signal and its name is very important for (car) navigation in Japan/Asia.
You showed another issue such as dual labels or default map localization, but I want to focus on the above issue at this time. I will post a mail to Japanese ML after some document translation finished such as traffic_signals_area. -- I like Mapion too. But Mapion is not perfect. At first, check Yahoo map. http://maps.loco.yahoo.co.jp/maps?type=scroll&datum=wgs&mode=map&pointer=off&lat=35.4573089010882&lon=139.619295364418&z=19 You will see an unnamed traffic signal just north of Tobe (戸部) station. However Mapion doesn't show it. http://www.mapion.co.jp/m2/35.45725737865473,139.61930034601284,19 And Google map doesn't show it. And you will notice multiple traffic signals rendering on Mapion just east of that signal. Nothing is perfect. But at least we can make OSM better. muramoto 2015-11-09 20:28 GMT+09:00 Michał Brzozowski <[email protected]>: > On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 11:59 AM, johnw <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Google Maps is actually two different sets of data: Google’s and a > Japanese > > GIS company, Zenrin.
