I already posted about this to the dev list, but nothing much came of it, the problem is we need to keep pushing this issue until there is a proper solution because we're not the only ones that want custom shield images to render. > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Alphanumeric_Highway_Shields > is not being followed. > According to this in Vic and SA the Sturt Highway should be ref=A20 > However, it is marked NHA20 and NRA20 according to the whim of Transport SA > who have old and new highway signs in different shield patterns on the route. Some of the older ref's haven't been updated, in fact there is quite a lot, I was working to fix up the main highways but ended up distracted and forgot to get back to it, there is quite a few roads I meant to fix in Qld. > The decisions on tagging date from July and August 07 > The initial proposal for ref:au= got targeted on the osm-talk list so we lost > our chance to have separately rendered pictures of highway shields > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2007-August/000086.html > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2007-August/000099.html Again, this isn't unique to us, we need to get the Candians and Americans and anyone else interested and really persist in trying to get a suitable outcome, there is a lot of people that want custom shields and we need to bear in mind that this isn't a trivial set of rules and could make the mapnik style sheet quite large as a result of all countries wanting their own shields. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
