Re: [Talk-ca] mapping Ottawa light rail stations.

[John Whelan]

It looks like the entrances railway=subway_entrance  have been mapped 
but the optional name tag hasn't been added in all cases.  Without the 
name OSMAND struggles to find them.  Parliament subway entrance for 
example is searchable.


If someone is passing (Danny?) could they add the names to the subway 
entrances please.  I'm unable to figure out what they should be.  Lyon 
is missing the names, Parliament has everything labelled parliament. 
Dunno about the others.


Thanks John

The route suggested by OSMAND+ was at first glance bizarre but looking 
more closely seems to follow the underground foot ways from the platform 
level which is fine except I was interested in using the elevators.  So 
how do I tell OSMAND+ I wish to go from a particular street level exit?


The second question is should the exits be marked on the map in someway 
that OSMAND can find?

I'm more interested in being able to say to OSMAND get me from a 
specific exit whatever to a street address and I couldn't figure out how 
to do that.

I don't think osmand handles elevators, there's a issue open on github 
to support indoor mapping, but it's been flagged as a "nice to have"
