I have proof-of-concept code for Osmarender (or to be more correct: for any renderer that reads osm files) that does exactly those two things. The concept I implemented splits each way into 3 parts: (1) The original ways without name or ref. (2) A way with only the name, split into same-sized parts of a configurable maximum length. (3) A number of nodes with only the ref-tag, distributed evenly with a configurable maximum distance along the way. Example, rendered with Kosmos: http://j-e-b.no-ip.com:8080/p/map.jpg Code, Perl: http://j-e-b.no-ip.com:8080/p/cwc.pl Note: The code will output a new osm file containing the original data and new ways tagged with "nameway=(any highway type)" and "name=*", and new nodes tagged with "refway=(any highway type)" and "ref=*". So you need to adapt your rendering rules to (a) not render names for highway=*, (b) render names for nameway=*, (c) render little boxes for refway=*. Also: DO NOT UPLOAD THE RESULT FILE TO THE SERVER!!! cu Henry PS: The list of supported highway types has not been updated since early May. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
