Hi I discovered that the location tags (mkgmap:city and so on) are not working in the default style and the reason involves the way that base-style works. It prepends the rules in the current style before the rules in the base style. This allows rules in the current style to override rules in the base-style as you would expect. However, if you have an action-only rule then it will never be seen if a real rule in the current style matches first. So putting all the location actions in a base-style does not work. Solutions? My ideas: First in the particular case of location, address and perhaps access tags I think that they should be separate file(s). The very fact that the same rules are repeated in lines, points and polygons, strongly indicates that they should be separated. They could be placed in one file, which would be used by each of the different geometry types. Second, perhaps there is a need for two commands include-before and include-after which allow you to do the inclusion either way as appropriate for the situation. ..Steve
