A complicated solution would be to have user options similar to non-web applications. Tick-box to emphasise paths that have bicycle = yes tag. The current cycle map is good but tick-boxes for other properties such as fuel, bbq, motel etc. The rendering is good but the user preferences are limited. I think a lot of data is entered and tagged a specific way so it displays on the main map the way an individual would like to see. I recently came across a series of rural roads that were labelled as cycleways because they are part of a cycle tour. (Switzerland) Probably the best solution for now it to have a separate domain for each kind of map and focus on getting the data correctly entered and let Marble worry about user tick-boxes. http://edu.kde.org/marble just some random thoughts. I think the quality of the data is generally excellent, and just like wikipedia there will be users who don't think things through and enter something as they initially think. I'm guilty of this as- well. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
