Sure, this would be ideal. I think it'll be a while before we get to that richness of data everywhere, though. So a pragmatic solution for the current state of affairs is taking proximity of a street to a named place. Incidentally, this is certainly the way that I've seen various navigation systems implement this. > This is also MUCH less work then using is_in and much less error-prone. I don't believe David Earl's name finder uses is_in at all, just proximity of places. I personally don't ever add is_in tags to stuff that I map as I regard it as an entirely broken concept. -- Jon Bright Silicon Circus Ltd. http://www.siliconcircus.com _______________________________________________ Routing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/routing
