How does that help anyone a) use the data, or b) improve the data? See ITO's OSM Mapper if you want a *useful* visualisation tool.

Nothing more, nothing less. -- Jonathan (Jonobennett) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
