Hi Clinton,
Sure, what's the point in having multiple labels the same (apart from the shield code)?
I suppose "because Felix said so" isn't a good argument is it? ;-)
I think that I have twigged what the issue is - I think what Felix is possibly looking at this situation:
name =<shield>carp ref = shark display_name = carp
But with my patch the labels output are:
<shield>carp shark
And so "shark" will be used in the routing instructions when he wants "carp".
I have name=somestreet ref_from_relation=EV6 I want to have inside map: name=EV6 somestreet and in routing instructions too: EV6 somestreet. Without using display_name in routing instructions I will only see /EV6/ instead of /EV6 somestreet/. Actually I would even prefer to have name for tooltip: EV6 Somestreet Name for Routing instructions: EV6 Somestreet BlaBlub (BlaBlub added later in style-file) Name printed in map: EV6 (meaning only one tooltip not two or three for the same road, currently every label gets its own tooltip). It gets a bit more difficult for me, as I add refs from route relations. It would be nice in future to be able to search for all of the following in address index: name ref ref_from_relation ref name ref_from_relation name name Blablub (Blablub is added during processing the style-file to name)
OK - if that's what the issue is, I am going to change the code to only trash the ref if it's the only ref (and the same as the name sans shields) but if there is multiple refs then none of them will get trashed.
I will post a v6 patch tonight
Mark
