Since I've now got shields rendering larger at higher zoom levels, I made some shields for the Kentucky Parkways. They are indeed pretty unreadable until you get to about z17, but at that point you can mostly make out what they are (or you can also just read the name on the road...). At least there's something on the motorways so they don't just look naked. We're putting the shield images in the public domain (well, we're putting them under a CC0 waiver, which amounts to the same thing semantically), so I don't think the "Kentucky Unbridled" image would be compatible with that. I just went with an italic font. (It's not like you can tell at these resolutions, anyway.) > One way to simplify them would be to use the routes' two-letter > abbreviations. NE2 suggested this for New York's parkways, too. I want to see how the current shields are received now that you can zoom in and see more detail on them, but using the routes' initials is certainly a possibility if no one likes their current incarnation. > Adding to the mess, the AA Highway is a special case that I *think* > belongs in `network=US:KY` as `ref=AA`. I've added that, too. The network=US:KY, ref=AA relation does not appear to include all of the ways with the name "AA Highway" (it looks like the relation ends somewhere around KY 2828). -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge. -- Daniel Boorstin ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
