Can someone give me information about rendering relations. I have tagged some relations of type=site but they don't show up in my maps. One such site is a named group of three apartment buildings. The relation itself has a name tag and each building is merely tagged as building=yes. I've had trouble with relations before and although they are the correct way to tag certain groups of objects the fact that they seem not to render properly exasperates me. Unfortunately, the relations style file that I am using deals only with routes. This is not really a development question but you're the experts. If you think this question should be asked elsewhere, please make a suggestion. Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave, the relations file allows to add tags from the relations to the members. I guess you want to do something else, maybe calculate a polygon that encloses all members ? Gerd Dave Swarthout wrote

Yes, ideally I'd like to show the contents of the name tag (for example, name=Nice Apartments), in the center of the space occupied by the three (or more) objects that make up the site. Is this possible? On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 6:08 PM, GerdP <gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> wrote:

Hi Dave, it is not possible now, but I think the needed calculation is not very complicated. We'd need a tag like mkgmap:calcPolygon=1 to tell mkgmap that it should add a way containing the tags of the relation and the points of the convex hull. I'm busy with the housenumbers2 branch now, maybe someone can code this? Gerd Dave Swarthout wrote
