Hi all, OpenStreetMap Carto, the default stylesheet on openstreetmap.org, is considering to change the mechanism for rendering admin boundaries. The proposed rendering of admin borders will be based on admin boundary ways rather than polygons. This has a number of advantages - for example, it will make it possible to style maritime boundaries differently.
The admin boundary ways are already in the database. However, in some cases they are missing an admin_level tag. When the proposed style change will be deployed, boundary=administrative ways without admin_level tag will no longer be rendered. I would therefore suggest to make sure admin_level tags are present on all boundary=administrative ways. A map showing admin boundary ways without admin_level tag (displayed in gray) can be found here: http://product.itoworld.com/map/2?lon=20.00736&lat=51.92203&zoom=6 As can be seen, most countries already do have admin_level on ways. However, in for example Poland, Iran and Australia, this data seems to be missing. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
