<DIV>Rendering names/icons for areas just does not work properly for unusual
shaped areas. If the Centre of gravity of the area is not within the area, then
the name/icon ends up in the wrong place. The current system where you tag the
area to get the yellow shading and tag a node to get the icon exactly where you
want works perfectly. Many Parking areas are unusually shaped. Please don't fix
something that is currently working perfectly.</DIV>
