my pet goal is missing from that list (it's only sort of a part of "Wrong road classification"), and that is, missing "surface" keys, to indicate whether a road is paved or not. this is a key piece of information for many kinds of navigation (bicycling, motorcycling, and for many others in the case of foul weather), and it's completely missing (or mostly incorrect) on all other free and non-free maps. unfortunately, there's not much incentive to add the information to OSM, because none of the renderers will display it anyway. :-) (i started a thread on this earlier this year, and then dropped the ball by not continuing to lobby for changes to the renderers to fix this problem.) paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 58.1 degrees) _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
