Dear OSM-PH Garmin Users, Eugene reminded me that some contributors are removing the ref tags on major roads in Metro Manila. The reason was because this was shown in the OSM-PH Garmin Maps. This is classic case of tagging for the renderer: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer
Please don't do this. File a bug report in the OSM-PH Garmin map tracsvn site if you have issues with the Garmin Map style and we will fix them as soon as we can. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eugene Alvin Villar <sea...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 8:07 PM Subject: ref tags seem to override name tags on ways in the Garmin maps To: maning sambale <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com> Hi maning, I've been noticing that some contributors have been deleting the ref tags (C-4, R-3) from EDSA and SLEX. I've asked them why they're doing this and apparently, it's because what gets displayed as the "title" in the Garmin units is the ref value instead of the expected name. Can this be fixed on the mkgmap options?
