Just a question guys ...<br><br>to the lay map viewer, what name will appear on the map? It would be the one on the name= tag, whether you put the new name or the old name there right? I am curious how people (web visitors) can see or identify the old name(s) if there are any. Like if I view Recto, I would like to easily see the old name (Azcaraga) if there is any. I know, as a mapmaker, I can view such info by digging on the tags. But what about other people who are just viewing the map?<br>
<br>thanks!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 11:58 AM, eric pareja <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eric.pareja@gmail.com">eric.pareja@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I would retain the old name as name and add a new_name field to the<br>
road/street. Or perhaps we can use alt_name.<br>
<br>
We have a similar issue here in Taguig, where there is a dispute<br>
regarding the renaming of a National Road, Bayani Road, in the Fort<br>
Bonifacio area, to Marichu R. Tinga Avenue. On Bayani Road itself,<br>
there are street signs that show the "new" name.<br>
