Hi All, I've been working on better highway shield rendering in Canada and the US for a while. I added a few Australian shields today.
My rendering of shields relies on the network tag as documented http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route#Road_Routes and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Custom_Highway_Shields#Australia To make these work well globally, the network tag should be namespaced with the country and if needed, the state / province. I've added the "AU_" prefix to the Australian shields in the wiki link above. If you have a more thorough discussion of the AU network tag please point me to it. For now I've implemented a Dirty Hack(r) on my server to allow rendering for this example below. The server connection is a bit fragile, so if you get nothing try again tomorrow. http://weait.com:8080/map/shield.html?lat=-37.75568&lon=144.92465&zoom=11&layers=BTF In future, I'll tweak the shield images a bit, but probably not for a few weeks. If, in your future highway editing, you could update your network tags to the AU_NH, AU_NR, etc. form, that will mean that Australian shields will continue to render after I clean up the Dirty Hack(r). ;-) I'd like your feedback, including which other shields should be added? Metroads? Best regards and Happy New Year, Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
