actually I'd like different styles by country (with fallback to a region standard, say per continent or sth. similar) but then not on separated layers but stitched together as one singular map. You could have local road colours and ref-markers, local traffic signs and transportation signs (subway, Busstops etc.). For transportation (or other) that could even be signs on an individual/network basis. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
