That's interesting. So it seems that Mapnik _is_ rendering fences. Who's the arbiter of what is rendered in the main map?

There's a "trac" subject for it, but as I understand it requests for "what gets rendered on the main map" are a bit backed up right now because the next rendering change is likely to be to a more sane (and maintainable) mechanism for "what gets rendered" - something that will be hugely beneficial to anyone who's tried to poke the XML for the current map style to make it do anything different.

Here's a list of trac tickets for the main map style by priority (as perceived by the person who logged the ticket):

barrier=wall is very common in the areas that interest me (the lakes), and very useful info to walkers too.


For info, barrier=wall is currently also rendered:

(all that work there is Dudley's not mine I hasten to add!)

One more thing though - I personally wouldn't get too worried about what gets rendered at what layer on the main map style, since what people will see if they're out and about may very well not be "standard map" tiles. In my case it'd be a map on a Garmin handheld; in many other cases it'd be an Android vector map of some sort. As long as the data's there whoever creates the map can use it!

Cheers,
Andy
