These are definitely sensible. (I have a preference for the latter on the UK canal system.) I think in time we may need to map some locks as areas, though in Britain there aren't that many big enough to justify the treatment. Eastham Lock certainly is! > PS: deliberately not tried to render locks before because of > inability to render icons (eg a traditional lock arrow) at the angle > of the way they are on. So have used a round icon for the moment. Any > thoughts on that welcome too. I'd have asked Artem about that in the pub on Friday if I'd thought. :) Could you do it with a label? In other words, render a faux '>' label (maybe in a custom font). That will be aligned to the path of the way, just as road names are. I guess it might prove a problem if Mapnik decides it'd be rendered upside down and therefore shows it the other way up, though... cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
