[OSM-talk] Feature Query update

[David Earl]

You probably already know about these, but I'll mention them anyway just in
case (bear in mnd this is the first time I've been able to see this level of
detail for the data I created)
  * highway=steps renders the same as highway=residential
  * post_office and post_box look the same (ISTR someone said that n the
list already)
  * amenity=school is not rendered (could any node with a name be rendered
irrespective of any missing icon? Then even if you don't know how to
represent it in pictures, at leastthe words are there)
  * amenity=parking gets an icon even when it is an area (I've been doing
parking as an area and a separate node, which in osmarender would give a
pink background area with a P in the middle).
  * road numbers aren't rendered, even on highway=primary (FYI I have some
on some NCN sections too)
