Personally I don't see the confusion at all... one system tags ways, the other tags nodes. But if you are worried then maybe you could tag with both? So you'd have rcn=yes and routetype=cnn -- or similar. We shouldn't actually need this for rendering anyway. > > I used the relations (why is there talking about tagging ways?) and gave > the nodes that should have the number the role: stop_number. > It's a lot easier to tag ways with the current tools, and for the most part there's little reason to stop doing so unless you have overlapping routes. It may be nice to use relations, although if you do that it'll take me much longer to get them to render. Unfortunately it isn't as simple a process as just pulling the data off of the ways/nodes because the planet import process looses all of the node information unless the node is a POI... a POI in this case is an osm node which has [nrl]cn/[nrl]cn_ref or other "interesting" tags. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
