Desired additional way key/value combo for download: ref #4

Closed pdxmele closed 12 years ago

pdxmele commented 12 years ago

If we include "ref" key values and use them as primary names for motorways, directions will be a lot more intuitive (i.e. "Take 84 to 5" vs. "Take T.I. Banfield Freeway to R.H. Baldock Freeway", etc.)

Inclusion of these values in the street_segments table might be nice but is not required

Thanks!

Would this be useful in OTP as well?

pdxmele commented 12 years ago

Once driving directions are incorporated, absolutely... but for now, our users don't go on freeways very often :)

novalis commented 12 years ago

So, which table(s) and column(s) do you want this in? And what are the rules for when ref is used and when name is used?

pdxmele commented 12 years ago

I'm not sure we've sorted out exactly what the rules will be yet, but if you can just get any ref tags (key/value pairs) on ways to be downloaded and put into the way_tags table, I can take it from there. Thanks!
