yes, I agree that it would be nice to have a different rendering for roads based on their surface. This is not completely trivial though: there is also another tag regarding the surface: smoothness. Somehow who makes the rendering will have to decide which attributes to display. Also not all roads that have another surface-tag then paved will be unpaved: there is cobblestone, surface=asphalt, surface=gravel (this is not paved, but it will make a huge difference compared to surface=ground when it rains), ... cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
