I think that is my point. I'm looking at MY area of the map on no-names and thinking - why the hell should I go and mark every farm track with something just because it's currently highlighted. This is a rural area with a lot of tracks. In the built up areas I also have a lot of 'spots' where a road has a small spur, a 't' end or some other non linear shape. The NAME displays nicely but I don't see the need to have to adjust the 'extra' bits - not that I can until something IS decided anyway? And the roundabouts are fun as well - I don't want the name because it gets displayed but they are then getting flagged as no-name. On one hand I can see the idea of flagging EVERYTHING by default that does not have a name, but IS that actually the right rule to follow? Do we end up with a vast volume of data that needs sorting just to hide something on no-names when it would make more sense to flag when something NEEDS a name? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
