place=capital can surely never be right. The place is not a capital INSTEAD of being a village/town/city etc. The "capital" bit is the status of the place within an administrative entity and the place. The place can have a different capital status in different admin areas at the same time. Being the capital of admin_level=2 does not imply it is also the capital of the lower-level areas. E.g. (symbolic) capital of the Netherlands is Amsterdam which is in the province of North Holland; the provincial capital is Haarlem, not Amsterdam. The only way to represent this properly is in by linking the admin area to the place which is its capital, i.e. the admin_level=2 relation links/points to Amsterdam and the admin_level=4 relation links/points to Haarlem.

so far "place=capital | place=capitol" worked very well that's why I put/proposed it in the default style. Have you checked that there are actual capital cities, not capitol or capital? For the mail here I just named one...

You can also look if those capitals of lower admin. districts are part of a relation lower < admin_level=2 to filter them out. So this way I think you can avoid that capital cities / towns that are either too small or not a capital of a nation are rendered too early.Hi, capital=yes is also used for regional capitals, eg. capital of a county or lower administrative areas. Note: there are only 193 countries accepted by UN and additional 13 ones not accepted. So I would recommend to use is_capital=country in combination with place=city._______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev_______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
