I really don't mind whether it's route relations or ref tags. The problem is that NEITHER is finished. To get to my house, I have to get on State Route 1966, then 1267. Neither of these are marked as such on the map, and I'm certainly not going to do it by hand when I could write a tool that will fix those AND all the rest of the U.S. at the same time. -- Peter Budny \ Georgia Tech \ CS MS student \ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
