[OSM-newbies] rendering data

[nihal fares]

i'm working an my graduation project and i need an accurate map for cairo
with tha capabilities if google maps API.

first i tried google maps API but there was a lack in street names , so i
tried OSM and in thier wiki i saw a way to place OSM in my website using
google maps API nad i tried it and it was working . but the problem was with
the duplicated data and as i said it is not an error

*>> The reason for the duplicate names on the major roads is that they are
dual carriageways with the sane name on both the parallel roads

and the solution was to render the data by myself and though i can control
what to take and what to leave ..
 <<*

thanks alot,,
