Everything you talked about above is specifically about rendering, not about mapping, in terms of mapping airports you really need to base things on a 1:1 basis, rather than start thinking about pre-processing before rendering, maybe it's the same thing, but it would reduce the usefulness of information on airport specific mapping imho. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
