I edited one ref at EDSA with 2 values of "ref=1;AH26". http://osm.org/go/4zhSOFRqJ--?m=
Rendering in Mapnik is not bad actually - which somehow approximate the looks of the physical marker http://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/74846-ah26-road-sign It makes the Route 1 bigger and more visible, befitting for it's status as the country's primary backbone, well considering that the earlier single digit "1" route marker was the smallest icon. I will do the rest of EDSA later (or somebody else). Proceeding with caution (EDSA only), wait until I can get confirmation that the double-value ref will not mess up rendering of the majority of mapping ups on smartphones. as it may not be worth it at the moment :-) On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 9:32 PM, Rally de Leon <rall...@gmail.com> wrote: > I will first assume that DPWH's Philippine National Highway Network (NHN) > map as current and official information: > > https://dpwh.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=4b48284a409844fab6876aa77be8bf58# > > Is the "Route 1" referred in above map exactly equals AH26 updated route? > > Because, according to DPWH Department Order N0.15-2009: > http://www.dpwh.gov.ph/pdf/issuances/DO/09/DO_015_S2009.pdf which > requires the DPWH to install "Route Markers" along Asian Higway (AH26) > route "comprising MOSTLY segments of the Daang Maharlika commences from > Laoag City and finally ends at the international seaport in Zamboanga City" > -->take note of the word MOSTLY, which possibly means "not all" of Daang > Maharlika.
