Re: [Tagging] highway=track access

I agree that unpaved roads need to be rendered differently than paved roads. In wet weather, particularly in areas with clay soil, unpaved roads may be completely impassable. On June 4, 2014 6:22:33 PM CDT, Greg Troxel wrote: > > SomeoneElse writes: > > > Some (but very few) "BOAT"s near me

[Tagging] turning layers off

Is it possible to turn visibility of certain layers or feature types off in OpenStreetMap (Id or JOSM), such as features with a landuse tag? I am having a hard time drawing building polygons inside landuse polygons because the landuse polygons have a colored tint to them. Thanks, Tom G.

Re: [Tagging] highway=track access

Sure, I realize I can (with enough spare time) render what I want. The mkgmap style I have does in fact mark dirt roads (by abusing track, as you suggest, which needs fixing), and I'll get around to making osmand show them too. My point was that for almost all map users (in cars or road bikes),

Re: [Tagging] turning layers off

(not a "tagging" question really, but) Top tip: Ctrl-W in JOSM ("wireframe mode") makes areas show as outlines rather than tinted areas. Dan 2014-06-05 15:50 GMT+01:00 Matthijs Melissen : > Yes, in JOSM, you can use the Filters window. > > -- Matthijs > > On 5 June 2014 15:46, Tom Gertin wrote
