Differentiate between named and no named roads (generic styling rules for map data) #967

Open jjiglesiasg opened 1 year ago

jjiglesiasg commented 1 year ago

Description

One of the main issues that ID have for the mappers is that only shows graphical differences between paved and unpaved roads (and variations), but a major problem is the amount of roads (any kind) without a name, that preclude proper addressing and navigation.

If RapID could establish a method of graphical diferentiation between named and un-named roads could be major changer for mappers that could tray to collect such data in a more easy way than requesting simple or complex queries in Overpass and similar Q.A. tools.

Please consider. BsRgds

Perhaps using the Red Halo method of GoMap, using Simon Pooles data source, as suggested by a mapper friend.

I like this suggestion, as we need to give more power to the user in general to visualize the map however they want.

One way we could do this is to augment the 'Map Data' panel to have additional options, where the user could add optional styling under each of the categories. The user could type a simple tag name/value to call out, and pick a color, and items with that property would be given an appropriately-colored halo.

If we implemented this, then your suggestion could be accomplished by clicking 'Traffic Roads', typing the tag name 'Name:*', and then picking a color. All the named roads would then be outlined in that color.

Or, we could also allow a 'NOT' selector for things like 'Show me all roads NOT named in blue'.

After discussing with @jledeev on slack, there's also a need to set custom data rules not just for OSM data, but for any custom data brought into the panel too.

We'd need to do some UX work to make this look 'clean', perhaps with the styling rule editor opening up after the user adds custom data and hits 'OK'.
