</span>For <a href="http://cycle.travel" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">cycle.travel</a>'s directions in the US, I've started post-processing the<br>
name and ref tag to remove duplication. So if name=State Route 315 and<br>
ref=OH 315, for example, it will simply say the road to follow is "OH 315"<br>
rather than "OH 315 State Route 315". But this requires some Lua<br>
string-matching magick which I suspect is outwith the capabilities of<br>
mkgmap.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ideally the name tag would be removed in the OSM data in the first place in such a case. </div></div></div></div>
