The surface page on the wiki has been hijacked by the usual wiki-gardening suspects. Tagwatch, as ever, is a much better guide: http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Europe/En/tags.html It suggests that paved, unpaved, gravel, cobblestone, ground and grass are the most common values (those with over 10k uses). I'm not entirely sure about "ground" (surface=air, anyone?) but the rest sound good to me. Remember that clients don't have to render/route everything distinctly - indeed, renderers generally _shouldn't_ if they care about good cartography. It'd be quite sensible for a map to do something like if surface==paved then # colour 1 elsif surface=~/gravel|cobblestone/ then # colour 2 else # colour 3 cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
