hi, thanks for the information. i thought that some issues were related to the style file but of course some are technology inherent - and might need heavy thinking and development before being solved. at least speaking for mapgen.pl
regarding mapgen: - the icon issues could be solved quickly by the user (by drawing or using new ones) - it is true that way and poi labels might overlap. but not inside a group. that is a street label will not overlap another street label - font sizes can easily be adapted - oneway arrows share the space with way labels ;-) - road ends are not square :-) - choice of pois is done in style sheet cheers gerhard gary68 On Mon, 2010-06-07 at 11:49 +0100, Gervase Markham wrote: > On 06/06/10 17:46, Gary68 wrote: > > could you please be a little bit more precise what you don't like at > > osmarender and especially mapgen.pl? > > It was me who said that, actually.
