Someone changed “lawnmower” to “lawn_mower” in the data ages ago, but oddly left “lawnmowers”, so render “shop=lawn_mower”. “plant_hire;tool_hire” was always amenity not shop; fixed. Show amenity=biergarten, amenity=beer_garden and outdoor_seating=garden as green. Update taginfo.json with all recent changes from style.lua. Removed some formerly low-use synonyms that are no longer in use from the style. Show “hazard_prone=yes” where “hazard_type=flood” as flood prone. Add “shop=agrarian” and various agrarian values as either feed or agricultural machinery shops. Don’t show stand-up benches as benches. Detect dentists that are also clinics etc.
Detect Quiet Lanes via “designation=quiet_lane;unclassified_highway” as well. Potentially detect bulk_purchase=only, even though it isn’t widely used in UK/IE. “archaeological_site=megalith” has appeared as a duplicate of “site_type=megalith”, so adding support for that. Don’t show motorway junction names if name:signed=no. Removed support for bridleway=mounting_block as the one example of that has been changed to something more sensible. Removed support for some “bridge” values that have (sensibly) been moved in the data to e.g. “bridge:structure” or similar. Removed support for the misspelt “barrier=tank_traps” (no longer in the data). Removed support for “barrier=lift_gate,lights” (no longer in the data). Removed support for “amenity=vehicle_rental” (no longer in the data). Removed support for “amenity=car_repair” (no longer in the data). Updated README with more project information. Render lifeboats on moorings (tagged as amenities or seamarks). Render coastguard stations tagged as seamarks.
Don’t render disused fountains in the same way as vacant shops etc. There are a couple of “highway=layby” in the UK. Handle as “amenity=parking”. Send living_street through to the database with that tag, not “residential”. Render living streets slightly darker than unclassified / residential. Render Quiet Lanes on tertiary, unclassified and residential as living_street.
The automatic permalinks at https://map.atownsend.org.uk now support layers as well as zoom levels and location. See https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-map/tree/leaflet-hash-plus-1 . See also this diary entry.
Update https://map.atownsend.org.uk to use https://github.com/mlevans/leaflet-hash .
Render “tower:type=chimney” and “building=chimney” as “chimney” or “bigchimney”, depending on height. Render office=medical_supply as shop=medical_supply. Added railway:historic to the style, for compatibility with mkgmap style. If it has no other tags, ensure that military bunkers appear as buildings. Updated (in SomeoneElse-style) update_render.sh, update_carto.sh and (in SomeoneElse-style-legend) update_generated_legend.sh to link to https://stackoverflow.com/a/73836045/8145448 .
Show reservoir_covered as building=roof, so that they don’t blend in with a wider industrial area. Also treat a couple of spellings of “hard shoulder” as “shoulder”. Don’t show narrow tertiary roads as unclassified if a oneway tag is set. Suppress “tourism” on showgrounds. Show grass outdoor_seating in green. Show unnamed farm shops with particular produce as farm “vending machines”. Show signs with a landscape information sign icon rather than a portrait information board one. Show military signs in red. Use board:title as the name on information signs as well. Increased maxzoom on test views to 24/25. Also render lifeguard bases (all lifeguard features in UK and IE now rendered). Include Isle of Man and Guernsey/Jersey in rendering.
Renderd geological=paleontological things. Improve the icon for historic=archaelogical (less fuzzy, less brown). Render inscriptions on marker stones.
If est_width is set but width is not, use est_width. Handle non-integer-width narrow tertiary roads that should be shown as unclassified. Update taginfo.json with recent changes.
Don’t render disused car parks in the same way as vacant shops etc. Don’t process old-style polygons in lua.
Major behind the scenes changes - support Ubuntu 22.04, the latest
osm2pgsql and mod_tile (patched to support zoom levels up to 24).
Also the use of osmosis was replaced with osmium, pyosmium and
osm-tags-transform. Scripts now do more error checking and can detect
e.g. out-of-memory errors and tidy up after failures. Update process now
preserves language tags - places with a hybrid “name A / name B” name
tag keep either name A or B depending on location. Main database still
“gis”, but scripts amended to allow loading of new data into “gis3”,
testing, and swapping over later, in order to reduce downtime. The
“borders” database is now “gis6”, and no longer depends on any external
styles or software run “ad hoc” at data load.
Add novispaths to the default (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) update_render.sh
Render “small_electric_vehicle” as scooter_rental. Added selecting
vending machine products such as “eggs” as the label. Added “beach” to
the list of natural items for which names are renderd. Handled some edge
cases of trail_visibility=bad - when there’s a bridge, it can’t be
that hard to see, can it?
Similarly if there’s something that would display as a levee, let that
still happen. Continue showing ele on peaks beyond zoom 20.
Treat school=entrance as entrance=main. Add access=destination to highway escape lanes. Removed very old “builtup areas” layer from project.mml Add “boundary” as a multipolygon key so that national parks drawn as ways are still shown (specifically, St Kilda). Paths suppressed for bad visibility or over-demanding sac_scale now get their own key, and an overlay optionally displays those.
Added craft=floorer to the same list as “roofer” etc. Exclude “independent” and “free house” etc. from brand and operator. Render amenity=waste_transfer_station as industrial. Render amenity=food_court in the same way as marketplace - as a name, with no icon. Render historic railway stations in the same way as other historic items. Prevent highway=raceway from appearing in the polygon table. Render entrance=main at higher zoom levels (from 18). Render roofs for shelters mapped as ways, and bicycle_parking ways. Remove shelter icon from “shopping cart”, “trolley park”, “animal_shelter” and “parking” shelters. Render “bicycle_parking” shelters with a bicycle_parking icon. Render leisure=bleachers as “not quite a building” along with e.g. bridges. Include “site_type=megalith” in the “standing stone” list.
Added more pub outside seating and wheelchair combinations for more pubs.
Added craft cider breweries. Render pubs with “opening_hours=closed” as closed pubs. Render shops with “opening_hours=closed” as vacant shops. Now that regional cycle networks are shown, the “name” logic needs to include the name (rather than the ref) in cases where there is no ref. Show waterway=floating_barrier in the same way as other waterway barriers. Catch various other ways of detecting locked gates. Add shop=plant_centre as a garden centre synonym. Use “is_sidepath” as another tag to suppress names on cycleways etc. Added pipeline marks to legend. In “update_render.sh”, remove the “pubs” file before sorting the input file into it. Add “office=politician” in addition to “political_party”. Added more pub outside seating and wheelchair combinations for micropubs and microbreweries.
Render pitch=line as a white line. Render old_name on farmland if name is not set. Render natural=tree_group as wood, if it has no other relevant tags. Treat obstacle=vegetation as overgrown=yes and set trail_visibility accordingly. Handle intermittent rivers and streams better - make them more visible, but not too prominent. Added a couple of synonyms for pipeline markers.
Correct the max native zoom on LA PRoW tiles to 18.
Show flowerbeds as green. Ensure that vaccination centries (e.g. for COVID 19) that aren’t already something else get shown as something. Things that are something else get (e.g. community centres) get left as that something else. Show wicket_gates as gates. Detect kissing_gates where tagged as a subtag. Change “monument” to not assume “building”. “removed:amenity=telephone” is a tag that people use. Small museums in former phoneboxes are now shown. If a “holy_well” is actually a spring, ensure it gets rendered as such. Show stone markers in a similar way to natural stones. Show aerial pipeline markers. Don’t show stations on e.g. preserved railways as normal railway stations. If a walking route has no name but does have a colour, render the colour as the name. Only use old_name on vacant shops and offices. Show an “outdoor seating” indicator on bars and cafes. Show beer garden and outside seating indicators on more pubs. Where “real_ale” is used on breweries, suppress it to avoid them appearing as pubs. Where “real_ale” is used on hotels and guest houses, render as a pub. Remove “shop” tag on industrial or craft breweries - we pick one thing to display them as, and in this case it’s “brewery”.
Fixed some minor issues with the display of crossings. Show ladders on footways as steps. Show windsocks. Render golf=cartpath as wide, not narrow. Updated taginfo.json with recent updates. Also added a number of values through to “barrier”. Remove tourism=attraction if a shop or amenity tag is present. If board:title is set, use that as the name of information boards. Changed leisure green dot to a slightly larger more green dot. Changed some name placements (nonspecific leisure, pubs, breweries) to be centroid instead of point, so that fewer name/icon clashes occur. Also include regional horse routes in those that are rendered. Handle various synonyms for e-scooter rental. Added icon for “eco greengrocers”.
Treat the three National Scenic Areas in Scotland as AONBs. Changed line-cap on some roads to avoid non-embankments to appear “over” embankments of the same class. On footpaths, if foot=no set access=no. Where a building would come through as industrial on a building, only display from zoom 17. Exclude “state=proposed” etc. cycle routes. Where something is both landuse=grass and leisure=common, only render the name once. Render various non-water basins as flood_prone. Fixed a bug where the “legend” button sometimes had to be clicked twice.
Add lots of other clubs (social, sailing, etc.) with no other tags as “leisure”. Added an icon for scooter rental and added to legend. Changed criteria for national parks to exclude protect_class=5. Many UK ones are tagged this way, but they will be included by other checks such as on “designation” or explicitly tagged as “boundary=national_park”. Added icons for taxi stand and taxi office, and added to legend. Following a taginfo.json update, removed some tags from the style.lua file that no longer occur in OSM anywhere. Updating taginfo.json with more key information. Tag information is complete, but keys processed for those tags is still a work in progress. Added blue hatching for “intermittent” water areas and a slightly less prominent blue hatching for areas that are merely flood-prone. Added a rendering for intermittent wetland. Re-saved some .pngs from gimp to make them much smaller (300 bytes rather than 30k).
Updated taginfo.json with recent updates. Updated update_render.sh to handle separate users for “getting things from github” and “running renderd”, as now required by Debian 11 and Ubuntu 21.04 and above.
Updated map at map.atownsend.org.uk to show “flooded” layer and England and Wales-sourced local authority public rights-of-way. Moved the CSS file used and changed the layer switcher font to be legible on more platforms. Added attribution for non-OSM layers.
Render flagpoles - normal ones in black; MOD ones in red, show name, and add to legend. Resolve an issue whereby maypole names weren’t displayed at some zoom levels. Add “office=police” to the list of offices that are rendered. Render “informal=yes” the same as “trail_visibility=intermediate”. Changed the “big chimney” threshold to 50m so that a couple of very prominent York chimneys pass the threshold. Remove a couple of no-longer-existing-in-this-form maps from SomeoneElse-map. Display “location=overgroundground” pipelines as bridges. Display gantries as pipeline bridges. Move the handling of some offices from “building” and “landuse” to the “office” tag. Handle telephone exchanges and some other offices as offices rather than just landuse. Remove ferry terminals and from landuse=commercial handling. Don’t treat highway=services as rest_area but instead as landuse=commercial. Handle club=sport via noncommercial leisure rather than landuse. If there’s no other information with a club=yes, assume it is “leisure”.
Change start node of legend from 9100000000 to 29100000000 as OSM has now caught up: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9100000000 . Don’t show long distance path relations without name or colour. If something is tagged as both an archaelogical site and a place, lose the place tag. Don’t display building names for amenities if the building tag is empty, or if a name for an amenity is already displayed.
Rearrange legend to split the “shops” line. Render shop=seafood as its own icon. Include amenity=scooter_rental in the list of objects for which operator is counted as name. Don’t include disused:amenity=grave_yard as “vacant” if still landuse=cemetery. Render shop=copyshop and shop=coffee etc. with their own icons.
Render shop=pastry as shop=bakery. Render shop=optician, shop=shoes, shop=electronics, shop=stationery, shop=catalogue, shop=musical_instrument with their own icons. Render shop=locksmith and shop=shoe_repair with their own icons. Render shop=storage_rental with its own icon. Render shop=health_food with its own icon, and also zero-waste health food shops. Add an icon for various “soft” homeware shops (“hard” homeware shops still get the furniture icon).
Render various sidewalk:left and sidewalk:right combinations as sidewalk. If motor_vehicle=no is set on a BOAT, it’s likely that a TRO is in place, so render as restricted byway instead. Render linear barrier=rendering_wall as wall. Render sinkholes that are mapped as ways as linear cliffs, and sinkholes that are mapped as nodes with a separate icon. Render zero-waste convenience stores and supermarkets with a distinctive icon.
Render “public_transport=platform” as “highway=platform” if there is no “highway=platform” or “railway=platform” tag. Render a couple more water man_made=monitoring_station. Added protect_class=2 to protected areas shown as national parks. Render castle walls as city walls.
Fix a bug where narrow “designation=public_bridleway; trail_visibility=intermittent” paths were omitted. Fix a bug where narrow paths without designations with trail_visibility=intermittent” paths were omitted. Added support for motorcycle_parking (including if mapped as a modifier for amenity=parking). Treat zero waste shops as other grocers. Added a few more combinations of ice_cream fast_food.
Render service=aircraft_control and aeroway=control_tower the same as tower:type=aircraft_control. Render “emergency=lifeguard;lifeguard=tower” as “emergency=lifeguard_tower”. Render “chicken;grill” fast food as “chicken”. Added rendering for historic mass rocks. Where a phone box is allegedly something else, it probably isn’t a phone box any more. Render as that something else. Show black, white, blue, green, grey and gold phone boxes as the correct colour rather than red.
Render “highway=busway” as highway=service. Fix a bug where narrow “designation=public_footpath; trail_visibility=intermittent” paths were omitted. Render things tagged as natural=shrubbery as hedge areas.
Added support (following wiki vote) for historic=ogham_stone. The “taginfo.json” list was also updated with recent changes. Render locked gates differently (with an “L” in the icon) to other gates. Render more “fast_food” cuisine combinations. Treat car ports as building=roof, like other similar buildings. Render holy wells using a variant icon of either a water well or a spring, depending on other tags (see legend for examples).
Render for-pay bicycle_parking differently from free ones. Also updated legend. Render highway=trailhead (used only occasionally) as information=route_marker. Render narrow tracks as narrow. Render some semicolon network values such as “ncn;nhn;nwn” as an appropriate value (here nhn). Added rendering for weather, rainfall, sky brightness and earthquake monitoring stations. Added support for more combinations used on Timpson-like shops.
Treat “foot:physical=no” as “trail_visibility=no”. Description also added to taginfo.json, and taginfo.json updated with openstreetmap-carto-AJT key use as well (only the addr:housename, aerialway and oneway keys pass through unchanged). Also updated “last updated” date in taginfo.json. Added support for various sorts of stones - natural=stone, historic=stone, historic=standing_stone, megalith_type=standing_stone, historic=rune_stone, stone_type=ogham_stone.
Display various playground items from zoom 18. Display waterway=brook as waterway=stream. Change “width” check for “pathwide” etc. to include any numeric values >= 2, and a selection of common legal non-numeric values.
Added support for more bad trail_visibility values, which remove non-designation paths and tracks from the map. Render trail_visibility=intermediate with wider spaces dashes on paths and tracks. Render trail_visibility=intermediate, =bad and =no with wider spaces dashes on wide and narrow bridleways and footpaths. Added less visible paths, tracks and wide and narrow bridleways and footpaths to the legend. A couple of hidden changes were also made, to reduce references to values in style.lua after they have been changed to something else, and changing output values for the .mss file to have different values (e.g. “bridlewaynarrow”) to the value in the input file (which might be “bridleway”). This last change doesn’t affect roads, which keep their original values in more situations. Render “overgrown=yes” as if the trail_visibility was intermediate. Made “barracks” less red.
Added “access:covid19=no” as a “closed due to Covid 19” tag for pubs. Added international walking networks to ldpnwn - I have found one in the UK that is explicitly signed. Previously they were ignored because I was aware of none that were signed; they are mostly just a fantasy in the same way that “E” roads are in the UK. The “name:signed” and “ref:signed” tags will still be honoured. Extended test for Hogweed following undiscussed but well-meaning tagfiddling changes to values in UK. Added support for public footpath, bridleway and byway closures - keep the footpath, bridleway or byway rendering, but add the “private” overprint.
Render “closed due to Covid 19” pubs as similar to. but not quite the same as, normal disused pubs. More beer garden and outside seating edge cases. Updated legend to include outside seating and beer gardens on pubs and also disused and “closed due to covid” pubs.
Render “guide_type=intermediary” guideposts like route_markers. Render beer garden (“green floor at right”) and outside seating (“black floor at right”) on a selection of pubs.
Render pharmacy=yes where it doesn’t clash with another amenity tag. Suppress names on riverbanks where mapped as “natural=water; water=river” to avoid clash with the name of the actual river. Rendering AEDs in disused:amenity=telepone. Render shooting ranges with red “military” overlay. Render indoor_golf as leisure. Change fill for proposed and construction rail tunnels from grey to silver to show HS2 tunnels slightly more clearly. If something is tagged both as a supermarket and a pharmacy, remove the tag for the latter.
Render golf=cartpath as path rather than highway=service if that tag is set. Render variously tagged showgrounds as meadows. Render shop=meditation as “woo”. Render woodland with an unexpected landuse tag as woodland. Render various synonyms for leisure=common.
Render wheelchair tags on rarer pubs as part of the bar at the bottom of the icon. Render wheelchair tags on bar, cafe, bank, pharmacy in the same way. Update legend to include wheelchair tags on pubs. Render craft=sawmill and industrial=sawmill as industrial, including the name on nodes. Render craft=electronics_repair (and other keys used with that value).
Render wheelchair tags on most pubs as part of the bar at the bottom of the icon - green for yes, yellow for limited and red for no. Render the names of telescopes and radio telescopes. Render various other sorts of ruined buildings as building=ruins. Render named building nodes. Render natural arches in the same way as bridges - the same as building=roof. Names (even for nodes) are also displayed. Render highway=rest_area as amenity=parking. Render railway=traverser as building=roof. It’s not ideal, but it is better than nothing. Also render animal=horse_walker as building=roof. Treat animal=shelter as amenity=animal_shelter, as that is how it is used. Look at more tags to suggest farmgrass, such as animals kept there.
More synonyms for tractor sales added. Added rendering for natural=saddle. Added landuse=paddock as a synonym for “farmgrass”. Render solar panels as “roof”, not as other power generators. Render leisure=inflatable_park as other leisure places. Render leisure=adventure_park as beach_resort. Display big observation towers from zoom 14. Render non-historic aeroplanes and helicopters as buildings. Render coachbuilders as car repair.
Render shoulder as if a road has a sidewalk on primary, secondary, tertiary, unclassified and residential. It’s not perfect - if you are walking along a shoulder you’ll want to watch out for farm traffic, but it’s safer than walking along a normal road. Added more synonyms for hotels, caravan_sites, beauty and healthcare places. Render agricultural meadows and grassy farmland with a colour half-way between existing farmland and meadow.
Remove “tourism” tag from monasteries and other historic buildings so that they are displayed as “historic”. Also trees and boundary stones. Fixed a rendering issue where tourist attractions could get rendered as unnamedcommercial when other tags were also present. Display tall masts from zoom 12, with the names from zoom 13 (as opposed to 15 and 17 for other masts). Also tall chimneys from zoom 13. Render various designations as e.g. national park, nature reserve, etc. If a forest has been mapped as a military danger area because shooting takes place there, just show as forest.
Remove extra landuse tagging on some “tourist” values.
Handle landuse combinations better - remove duplicate names in more cases. Make valley repeat text less frequent at high zooms. Display big peaks from zoom 10, with the name of prominent ones from zoom 11, and the name of all big ones from zoom 12.
Added more “car parts” combinations. If we’re allowed to walk somewhere but general access isn’t allowed, then don’t render as “private” or “destination”, and don’t degrade the display of service roads because they are driveways. Also add lnduse=industrial to substations. Added small text for natural=valley.
Render barrier=flood_wall as wall. Don’t render the names of unsigned long-distance foot, horse, cycle or mtb routes, as unfortunately a number of “routes from books” seem to be making their way into OSM and don’t exist on the ground. Remove “tourism” tag from various towers that are already rendered as towers, and on some other amenity and historic items. If former_name is set, use it like old_name. Handle “soft_play” like “indoor_play”. Choose which to render between some tourism and amenity tags. Render names on cliffs, embankments, levees, walls and linear gates. Render the names of canals more frequently along their length. Change private footways, tracks etc. to be more obviously different from non-private ones. Render “disused:building” as roof etc., as most seem to be still something. Added more rental-tagged things. Render more “covered” values as “yes” (in a similar way to “tunnel”).
Render landuse=college_court as landuse=grass. Render man_made=geoglyph as historic=monument. Render parking positions at airports (only if mapped as nodes, to avoid duplication). Render hazard=plant (Hogweed) as a historic dot. Don’t render service roads with foot=yes as private. Treat “was:” as “disused:”. Render climbing boulders etc. from zoom 17.
Render amenity=feeding_place as a roof, if not already a building. Likewise for bus shelters. Don’t use the “shelter” icon on animal field shelters (it’s already removed for bus shelters). Include “support=tower” in those clocks rendered as clock towers. Render pedestal- and similar mounted clocks. Render fountains.
Append “air quality” to name of air quality monitoring stations.

Render man_made=village_sign. Make private tracks less prominent.
Render names on vending machines. Render brand and operator on cafes, restaurants and vending machines. Try and make electricity substations more obvious. Detect more parcel lockers. Add a “hotel roof” to pubs with accommodation, and restaurants with rooms. Don’t render private cafes or restaurants, in the same way that private pubs are not rendered. If a cafe or restaurant is rendered as serving real ale, also include the “F” for food. Render operator/brand in brackets on man_made objects.
Include micropubs mapped as “pub=micro”. Improve and consolidate disused:pub detection logic to not miss some new uses. Add “pub=yes” (on e.g. hotels) to the pub detection code. Detect more italian combinations as pizza places. Render Jehovah’s Witness places of worship as generic religious rather than using a cross. Render B&Bs that are tagged as a subclass of guest_house as B&Bs. Render street cabinets that are mapped as ways as buildings. Render Mineshafts.
Change destination and private colours so that private does not clash with footpath. Add a line showing destination and private to legend. Only render sensible things via “real_ale”. Render craft=brewery with an icon. Render micropubs with an indicator in the pub icon.
Render some military buildings in red. Added rendering for various “schools” that aren’t actually schools (flying_school etc.). Golf: added rendering for golf ball washers; added a slightly different colour for golf greens; added rendering for golf path features as paths. Added various “diplomatic”-tagged objects to use the same icon as “embassy”. Treat minarets as church spires. Moved escape_game and sport=laser_tag from shop to leisure. Added more tower types (based on contruction). Render non-public and indoor defibrillators as less opaque, like car parks. Render prisons and zoos from zoom level 15. Extend the “ex-pubs” to show as non-ex-pubs to include e.g. offices.
Cope with airports with iata codes but no names. Added Unclassified Unpaved and UCR to legend. Changed restricted byways to blue. Added icons for ambulance station, mountain rescue and mountain rescue box.
Removed rendering of natural earth boundaries, as map.atownsend.org.uk now has a separate boundary database.
Changed text-dy on vacant shops to work around a new Mapnik issue (required because of move to Ubuntu 18.04 only). Added “operator” etc. on all pubs, not just generic ones. Fixed bug in legend which suppressed narrow BOATs. Render some protect classes as nature reserves.
Move to new larger and faster “map” server.
Added support for more tagging of waterfalls. Made grass aprons appear as grass; made grass runway width more reasonable at z14 and z15. Render unnamed “amenity=biergarten” as “leisure=garden; garden=beer_garden”, since that’s likely what they are. Render tax advisors as accountants. Remove greyed-out effect from permissive parking. Added home care offices as office. Processed operator and brand on animal shelters etc. Single-node stepping stones are now handled using a separate icon. Ways are still handled as fords.

Display public bookcases (even those not in former phone boxes) and add to legend. Treat telephone_box as telephone_kiosk.
Added “shop=mattress” to homeware shops list. Move non-money-losing “gaming” shops out of the “bookies” list. Render “location=underground” waterways as tunnels. Render “maxwidth” on tertiary roads as if “width” was set. Render canal spillways and headraces as drains. Render excrement bag vending differently from ticket machines. Display name and/or operator and/or brand on vending machines. Render windmill buildings and former windmills as windmills. Render “two sided embankments” from z14 rather than z13. Render maypoles from z16 and use a larger icon from z18. Re-added horse mounting block code and added “amenity=horse_dismount_block”. Render ruins=yes as building=ruins. Don’t display alleged biergartens from z16. In the UK, many are mistagged pub beer gardens. Added about button to example map.
At z13, don’t show linear barriers or nature reserve / national park boundaries or ditches (but still show drains and streams).
Don’t show underground railway platforms (stations are still shown of course). Added icon for water monitoring stations. Show unpaved service roads and residentials as tracks. Show electric bike shops as bike shops. Render loc_ref on roads if appropriate. Add more spellings of “official” refs. Add icon for bicycle repair station, compressed air. Add missing z_order setting for MTB routes. Only render tree names from z18. Made LDP dots smaller at z13 and z14. Removed max zoom on which large_aerodrome name is displayed. Render lcn_ref as something on nodes Added “service” to roads to handle “official” and unsigned refs and names on. Resolved order of byway/gallop code to process prow_refs etc. should any exist. Added more comments to the “grade” logic. Moved prow_ref logic to below each designation. Reduced set of highways for which designation takes precedence (previously e.g. trunk_links turned into bridleways). Added military to set of “private” roads. Added many more “edge case” designations, including ones with semicolons where something is on the list of streets and has another designation.
Made ferry routes less prominent from zoom 11. Suppress “historic” for amenity=pub. Added IATA code to large aerodromes. Render man_made=spillway areas as water. Render brand on offices. Render unsigned “official” road refs and names in brackets, after a signed name (if any), in the same way that PROW refs are handled.
Changed the icons for women’s toilets to include F rather than W to better distinguish it from M. Added icon for emergency=life_ring. Added “emergency” to the “brand/operator” logic (so that “RNLI” shows) and expanded the “emergency” office list. Added beach safety signs to the information=board list.

Added icons for different sorts of historic=memorial and similar objects (e.g. obelisks). Added more icons for male and female toilets. User operator / brand if set instead of name on shops and pubs. Added laundry, pet shop, travel agent and bookshop icons. Show the operator of woods and forests in brackets after the name if available. Change the dot frequency for long distance horse routes to match the walking route frequency instead of the cycle route frequency, so that more dots are visible. Added names for wetland. Added another key to translate for horse mounting blocks. Added “unclassified_road” as a designation to be processed as “unclassified_county_road” etc. If a former pub is a shop/hotel, render it as a shop/hotel.

Render MTB trails like cycle routes but with the dots and text closer together. Added icon for various alcohol shops, mobile phone and confectionery shops. Moved “shop=party” to “gift” and consolidated “spa” as “beauty”.
