Martijn, great to hear that Telenav will be using the destination keys. Since this tagging will only be used for informational purposes to the motorist (routing won't be affected) I recommend to tag all info on the signposts, like the signs, and not only the destination and destination:ref. Examples can be found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Destination_details
Also I would recommend to tag the lane information at the same time, since this also gives extra info to the motorist. Cheers, Johan p.s. you can use the Netherlands as a European test bed: 85% of the motorways has been tagged with signpost and lane info :-) 2014-07-10 17:21 GMT+02:00 fly <lowfligh...@googlemail.com>: > Am 10.07.2014 15:43, schrieb Martijn van Exel: > > Hi, > > > > (I am sorry if this message appears twice - I wasn't yet subscribed to > > this list with my Telenav account.) > > > > I posted about destination= and destination:ref= a few days ago, > > linking to my diary entry.
