Yes, it's county designated name. It's gets messier than that, as sometimes "CR 2" might include multiple other road segments, all with different names common and USFS names. We prefer the common name or the USFS name, but I have no control over what Dispatch gives us. > name=CR 2 / Corkscrew Gulch Road / FS 729.2B alt_name=CR 2; Corkscrew > Gulch Road; FS 729.2B > If you have several name or several ref, you can use the “;” > separator Ah, I've used that elsewhere, didn't think about it for road names. The problem though is since the name gets displayed, too many long road names obscures the map. I've had similar problems with house addresses in the more densely populated areas. When I produce a KML file from OSM data, I put all the names in the description popup. That works in GPS map apps, but not in OsmAnd. Plus I wonder if that would break routing... - rob - _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
