Hi David, although my opinion is that most render's try to simplify the the stylesheet so the map for ease of comprehension and would not make use of these additional attributes, I see your point and agree that it's useful data to have. Since my company focuses on 4WD maps and navigation, we wil

[talk-au] NSW Alphanumeric routes

2012-11-04 Thread Mark Pulley
The NSW RTA has a web site up on the new alphanumeric routes, including maps of the new routes. www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadprojects/projects/alpha_numeric/index.html I was wondering when we should update the route numbers to the new routes. Some have already been done, e.g. A41 (Bathurst to Albury

By choosing to place traffic light not on the intersection node, you are failing to represent that "this is an intersection of two roads, controlled by traffic signals". I don't see how it is failing to represent that - the intersection is there (the ways intersect at nodes), and there are t

Sorry folks, I was having too much fun in Port Macquarie and only got to map for a short while. I did some roads near the racecourse although most of these were never named in OSM before. On my returm trip I will make a more determined effort to re-map the rest of Port Macquarie. I have made a
