Hi Duane, Thanks. I had overlooked the examples page (even though I searched the OSM wiki for the exact term!) I do appreciate the granularity of the destination:street tagging and would encourage the Telenav mappers to use it as well then, but we like to stick to conventions that are properly documented (not only in an example page). Since there is significant usage in N-America and some other regions [1], we could add it to the destination tag page [2]?
My only issue with destination:street is that there’s still ambiguity when more than one street is on the sign, like here [3]. Would that then be destination:street=1300 So.;2100 So. and destination:ref=201 and destination:West Valley? The advantage of having a separate tag partly vanishes when you still need the semicolon separator?
