Sub-country tagging like that to indicate the type of shield is fine though where possible I say you should tag the type of the road and derive the shield details from that plus the country. There are some cases (the US for example) where road designation is a complete mess and it may need more specific tagging though. No idea if you also have that problem in Spain ;-) Tom -- Tom Hughes ([email protected]) http://www.compton.nu/ _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
