[Talk-il] Fwd: Mark main roads (yellow) / IL Map Features WIKI / Road Naming convetion

[Jahudie]

== Israel Map features ==
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/He:Map_Features

The text specific for Israel is now bold and more visible than the rest.

I also changed the military sentence to the one suggested by Tal.

== road naming convetion ==

The naming needs to be defined by us.
Maybe one of you Hebrew writting people can fill out an example for all the
possible namings:
- name:
- alt_name:
- int_name:
- nat_name:
- reg_name:
- loc_name:
- old_name:
- name:en:
- name:he:

Than we will able to discuss that. We need ASAP to have a equal way of
defining road and city names.
A example for very bad naming convetions:

google maps: *Hertsel*/Netanya
Openstreetmaps Eng: *Herzel*/Netanya
Openstreetmaps Heb: *הרצל*/Netanya
Wikipedia translation of הרצל : *Herzl *
Written on the street sign : Theodor Herzel (I'm just guessing)

This is just to confusing. And we have a special situation in Israel that
needs to be cared of.


== Main city roads ==

Any comments ? Text that I should add to the 'He:Map_Features' about this
topic ?

Regards,
 Mr. Israel
