I think you meant that the cycle map will render ways, and *relations containing only ways*, but not relations containing relations, just in case anyone was getting confused! > You can see what happens on Clapham Common... the 3, 5, and 25 all follow > the same path across it.

Yeah, it used to look quite good, but now it sucks. I'll look at trying to fix it, but there's little mapnik documentation so it's a bit trial-and-error. We're pushing the limits of what mapnik can handle though in a number of areas with the cycle map - I've got quite a few enhancements to the map that are dependent on changes to mapnik, which is out of my control. > The side by side spider diagrams that get used for bus routes would be quite > cool, but you're right -- they'd be really tricky to render automatically It's basically the tube map problem - see http://www.stevechilton.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/osm/tube/index.html - it would be great to render the lines side by side instead of intermittently over one another (like the Picaddilly (blue) and Metropolitan (purple) between Uxbridge and Harrow in the northwest). But that would involve things such as each tile knowing which order the ones to the left and right have the colours in, and lots of other tricky things like that. Hopefully someone with dollops of genius will sort it out for us!
