well, I' quite new to this kind of things, but in my opinion a line of trees is quite a more important landmark than a concrete shoulder.. If I was to give direction, I would for sure say "take the avenue with the trees", while of course I wouldn't in the other case. There is even an italian expression, "viale alberato" which specifically describes an avenue with tree lines.. and, I agree, a 3d map view with rendered trees would be very cool ^_^ Enrico _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
