<div dir="ltr">Thank you for the tip Andy. I did unchecked the wireframe option and all the OSM lines turned grey (untagged). I went into preferences to change the color option for untagged items and everything turned to my selected color blue. I know there are residential, motorways, and service lines in the area I'm looking at. So, does anybody know what is going on. All the roads look to be tiger lines, does that have anything to do with it?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Mui<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 2:01 AM, Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ajrlists@googlemail.com">ajrlists@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Sounds like you are in "wireframe" mode. If you click off the tick in the<br>
wireframe box on the "View" menu you should see generalised formatting of<br>
the data as you are looking for.<br>

Cheers<br>
