[talk-au] Area/location names

[Brent Easton]

As from tomorrow, you will be able to tag a node with

place=locality
name=xxxxx

to get a name on the map. It will render the same size as the place=hamlet text.


Unfortunately, we have a big problem with the natural=forest area that has been added over the entire mountains. As you can see, it does not render properly at zoom 12 or higher where the Z12 tile is completely enclosed within the forested area. 

Regards,
Brent.

Gday everyone, 
Just been adding some more roads and walks up here in the Blue Mountains. I was just wondering how best to add some names in that I want to show up on the map. For example, I added the Minnie Ha Ha falls walking track and the falls themselves. Now; this walk is popular, and has a NPWS info board at the start. As such I added a node for the falls themselves, and tagged it as a tourist attraction. The name has shown up in pink and is fairly large, though doesnt seem to show up until a zoom of 15 (on osmarender). This seems acceptable to be. However, I have also mapped in some walking tracks nearer to lawson. On this track there are three named falls/locations and a named lookout point. I don't think these are appropriate to label as tourist attractions, but I think they should show up on the map. What tag can I use here to get them to show up? (preferably as small black text i think). 

If you want to have a look at what ive been doing, check it out on osmarender and let me know how I'm going. Its very incomplete, and i'm still correcting some bits that havent rendered properly!

Cheers, 
Myles
