<br>I can't answer that, but I did notice the same issue when playing with a cycle render using t@h / osmararender.<br><br>In that instance I wanted to mark the route names / numbers on ways, but because a route often follows many ways I ended up with far too many route names or numbers displayed. It appears that mapnik has a facility for limiting the number of markers, but I couldn't work out how to do it in xlst.
<br><br>This is more of an osmarender question than t@h, so I'll cc this to the dev list as well in case anyone can help.<br><br>While I'm on the subject I also wanted to draw route markers in a pretty, horizontally aligned box, rather than simple text following the route, but never managed that either. I've currently let this idea slip a bit, but still definately interested if these things are possible.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>Hash: SHA1<br><br>Hey there:<br><br>I'm totally addicted to openstreetmaps since a while (everything started<br>when I got the N95...) and I'm contributing mainly creating from the
<br>distance the Buenos Aires map, where I'm from, and also adding POIs and<br>tidying up Amsterdam, where I live.<br><br>Amsterdam is a pleasure to look, a pain to render with so much info from<br>AND.<br><br>I was wondering if there's a plan to do something with the ways that
<br>change constantly of direction.<br><br>In the center of Amsterdam there are many of them, and the map writes<br>their name in each segment as they are different ways, and it looks too<br>cluttered.<br><br>At the start I thought on combining them, but they have this AND_nors
<br>reference numbers, so I guess we should keep that information...<br><br>Is there any way that the xlst can see that a way has the same name that<br>the next one, therefore don't need to render it?<br><br><br>Thanks
