Part of the reason I added areaSymbol to parking areas is that mapnik _does_ render icons on parking areas. After reading some of this thread I see it has a collision detection system which is the reason you haven't seen duplicate icons there (as long as you placed the node close enough to where mapnik placed the automatic one). > And by the way, even if Mapnik does eventually do this, don't be tempted > to remove P nodes automatically, as some of them have names.

If I were working on an area and saw a parking node inside a parking area I'd definitely remove the node, moving tags as needed. If anybody decides to automatically clean up all the data they'll of course have to handle those cases. -- Knut Arne Bjørndal aka Bob Kåre [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
