Like already pointed out before: This only works if your idea of important is the same as the idea of important of the ones that did the initial ordering. However for a motorist a motorway is the most important road, for a cyclist a cycleway is the most important road and for a canal boater roads are not important at all. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
