I'm sure people said the same thing about ways and nodes, why did we need relations? It has the potential to reduce redundent information and make life easier for mapping tool creators and mapping route software. > I think an acceptable method of micro mapping lanes will come as soon as > someone makes a renderer that renders one of the myriad of possible > solutions. Micro mapping isn't just for rendering, in fact it has far bigger applications in the routing side of things, eg "In 500m merge into the right lane" etc, a lot of this is just meta information and doesn't need to be mapped visually to the nth degree. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
