In principle the orientation can often quite reliably be determined from elevation data - this is of course not so easy to do with the normal rendering framework. In general orientation of a saddle is also a function of the scale you look at - for example this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2001818936 has an east-west orientation when you look at it closely but on a coarse scale it is a north-south crossing. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
