Hi, For the Canada canvec dataset, the map feature is available, and direction of the way was not taken into account. So the tag 'oneway=yes' was not used as a preset.
However, for those who are interested in making the waterflow correct (and render an arrow). In Canada we do have geobase National Hydrography set that shows that tag (the data has been converted into osm format and is available). And for the rest of the world, by looking at the contour lines on the cyclemap (or created from groundtruth contours) you can extrapolate what direction the water flows and add the oneway tag to confirm this. cheers, sam On 9/11/10, Elizabeth Dodd <ed...@billiau.net> wrote: > On Sat, 11 Sep 2010 17:45:04 -0400 > Nathan Edgars II <nerou...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 5:08 PM, Pierre-Alain Dorange >> <pdora...@mac.com> wrote: >> > ...
