Perhaps direction=North|South|West|East, or cardinal=North|South|West| East? > Also, wouldn't it make sense to have the way a route is displayed as > the name? For example, network=I,ref=90 would have name="I 90", and > network=US:IL, ref=58 would have name="IL 58" in the relations. I prefer "_" to ":" or ";" in this case as "_" can be used in a filename without escaping. network=us_i_2 # Interstate (2 digit) us_i_3 for 3 digit network=us_us_2 # US Route us_us_3 for 3 digit network=us_ny # NY State Route network=us_ny_county # and so on. The network value plugs directly into the shield symbolizer in mapnik for an easy renderer fix. The shield images can be network_us_i_3.png to keep them all in order in the directory. I've got a demonstration of highway shields working here: http://weait.com/maps/ Please be gentle on this unsuspecting box and narrow pipe. To make shields work for everybody, I'd like to see - "network=" supported in highway ways, relations and super-relations - further graphics work to refine the highway shield symbols for size / centering - wide adoption of the newly supported network tag. - repair of the many broken ref= tags that read I-190 or even Interstate 190, etc. Blog entry with more details here. http://weait.com/content/badges-badges Best regards, Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
