isn't this information a router could gain from the data simply by looking where the ramp leads to?
yes, a router could. i think that this proposal would be useful as a way to indicate the text visible on the signs for the ramp for clear directions, which is how i've been filling out exit_to for motorway_junctions. that is to say, the router can compute this, but then it can use the exit_to text on, say, a web page of directions for the text to use. a router can only guess at the text on the sign from tracing topology.
the specific problem case brought out by James is one that's certainly kicking around, and he outlines what seems to me to be a reasonable approach. richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
