Motorway exits tagged as the example below are rendered by mapnik [1] with a line break instead of ";" as they appear in the traffic signals [2]. Is there a way to get the same with the mkgmap styles? Currently they are rendered in a single line and they don't fit within the gps screen in most cases. <node id='598580064' timestamp='2010-08-27T18:17:47Z' uid='26599' user='cdavila' visible='true' version='2' changeset='5610126' lat='40.4110976' lon='-5.7209946'> <tag k='highway' v='motorway_junction' /> <tag k='name' v='N-630 Vallejera de Riofrío;El Barco de Ávila;La Covatilla' /> <tag k='ref' v='408' /> <tag k='source' v='survey' /> </node> [1] http://osm.org/go/b8u96Qpm [2] http://mapas.alternativaslibres.es/IMG_8688.JPG

That doesn't to me look like a valid use of the name tag. Are those multiple values the different destinations signposted at that exit? If so, these should be included in the exit_to tag: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Motorway_junction Dermot -- -------------------------------------- Iren sind menschlich

exit_to is a recently (June 2010) introduced tag for motorway_junctions and I didn't know it. I'm afraid most people have tagged motorway_junction name with what now is intended to go in exit_to tag, so there will be some confusion on it for some time. Anyway, my question is still valid, now for exit_to tag.

I don't think so - if people have used the name tag for this, they shouldn't have, and the solution to broken data is to repair it. As to the exit_to tag, I can't see any good reason to display it on a standard map. It's more useful for navigation instructions. Dermot -- -------------------------------------- Iren sind menschlich
