Please, take a vacation outside densely populated areas. Northern Norway is quite nice: http://osm.org/go/1KyNf-- Names are often passed by word of mouth, or learned from a map. You /might/ find some signposted peaks, but I doubt it. If we are supposed to leave out every name that isn't signposted we might as well just give up on creating anything like a nice hiking map for Norway right away. And if we aren't doing anything but roads we might as well use Google maps, they are quite good at that. -- Knut Arne Bjørndal aka Bob Kåre bob+...@cakebox.net bobk...@irc _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
