Thanks for that example. As I understand it, this puts a name on the way but does not specifically put a name on the section of the protected area, unless one devises a query that searches for all named ways in the broader relation? Hence the name never appears on any map unless one knows that this indirect technique was used, and devises a query to show such names. I might have interpreted the example wrongly? > Yes .. desirable to add the names that appear 'on the ground'. > > Possibly best to add the names on the individual ways .. assuming the single > way encompasses the area concerned? This becomes much more difficult along rivers, where ways delineating named reserves may need to be split from longer ways, and the newly divided segment would need to be delineated by a multipolygon, with some shared boundaries. Thanks again. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
