<br>Thanks, page looks good.<br><br>I think the pub problem is an instance of the more general problem of overcrowding<br>on a map when we ge lots of detail (which is a good thing). The solution that I have<br>heard that I like most is to have map layers that contain deifferent classes of information
<br>so you can do things like turn on/off the maps. Having said that I know little about<br>map generation.<br><br>cheers<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ian Sergeant</b> <

<br><br>I have taken the opportunity to put down what I see as some issues facing<br>Sydney mapping now..<br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Sydney">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Sydney</a>.
<br><br>1. What are the freeways called? Do we really want to follow the street<br>signs, and omit the common names? Do we really want to copy the other<br>maps?<br><br>2. What is a motorway in Sydney? There are many sections of road that look
<br>like a freeway. What sections of road should be drawn as freeways?<br><br>3. How to clean up the Sydney CBD rendering, and what to do about the pubs<br>and other POI's.<br>The CBD map currently has about 30 pubs on it of the possible 500+ licenced
<br>premises in the Sydney CBD. If we label everyone of them, the CBD map of<br>Sydney will be useless to all but the most confirmed methylphiliacs. Very<br>soon the problem of places of interest will be the same. It is good to
<br>track POI's - but there are just too many of them in the CBD to have them<br>all and render a map with them at any level of detail.<br><br>If anyone has an interest, and would like to suggest anything.on the above
<br>topics, please do so..<br><br>If there are other issues we need to work on resolving pertinent to Sydney<br>in particular, please feel free to add them to the page as well.<br><br>Ian.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
