Re: [OSM-talk] ITO Map now Global

[Leandro Motta Barros]

Hello again,

Another building-related thing I forgot to say in the previous email:

Many buildings here (specially commercial buildings) have many numbers
(one for each store front). For this reason, I frequently add the
address tags to each building entrance, not to the building as whole.
It would be nice if the ITO could be smart enough to render a building
as "numbered" if at least one of its building=entrance nodes has an
addr:number=* tag. A naïve implementation supporting this shouldn't be
too hard to do.

Cheers,

LMB

Hi!

Nice! Another very useful tool for finding problems and areas that
need more work. The fact that is works in my region is a big plus ;-)

Two quick suggestions/notes you may already be aware of, but anyway:

1) Coloring for buildings with addresses seems incorrect for many
cases I saw. For instance, this building
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/104741421 has address info,
but it is shown in red. (In fact, all buildings I see in my town are
in red, despite the fact that many of them have addresses and/or names
(see 
http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=9&bbox=-5693949.96881538,-3473721.866134205,-5693243.76233382,-3473317.908382995&layers=&base_style=&clear_map_history=true
)

2) In the "surface" view, wouldn't it be good to have surface=asphalt
rendered the same way as paved streets? Right now, they seem to be
ignored, which is bad for me (I use surface=asphalt a lot). I suspect
that surface=paving_stones is not handled either. (both of these
surface tags are documented in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface).

Anyway, thanks for the great tool!
