It's good to see that we're not the only ones with this problem, though. Google Maps seems to render a huge number of bus stops now that they've imported public transit data for the uk. See http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=manchester,+uk&sll=37.579413,-95.712891&sspn=30.958234,75.234375&ie=UTF8&ll=53.479797,-2.239387&spn=0.005708,0.018368&z=16for instance. That view contains two bus stations (by Piccadilly Gardens and the coach station by Chorlton Street), and yet both a rendered simply as a mass of access points, rather than a singular named node (which would be more useful). So if we can solve this problem, we'll be one up on Google! :-) Frankie P.S It's good to see that platforms are now rendering on Mapnik (see http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.477811&lon=-2.243247&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF), however I note that it's not coping well with platforms that are areas (as closed ways with area=yes). Having blue arrows on the tramlines that are marked with oneway=yes is also a little odd. -- Frankie Roberto Experience Designer, Rattle 0114 2706977 http://www.rattlecentral.com Sent from Manchester, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
