OSM is a global and worldwide project and cannot deal with all local issues.
For example, in France some names/routes are "trade marks" and for this reason should not be visible on maps unless authorized. So what ? Should we remove these routes from the osm.org default rendering ? Create one more rendering just to deal with this ? OSM is a data project, and these data allow to make maps, not one single map, but maps. If the default map does not fit one need, just use the data and the tools to make your own. That's what we did with these trademarked routes... they are hidden on OSM-FR tiles. Adoption of the project is also to reuse the data, not the basic services provided by osm.org servers. 2013/11/11 Arun Ganesh <arun.plane...@gmail.com> > > Easy: take everything from OSM but the borders and supply your own >> favourite borders from a separate source with a nice big Indian >> government stamp on it.
