This is the layer for labelling the highways. Only highways that are named name=*
and are long enough
to place text upon appear. The OSM roads are stitched together if they contain the same name
to have better label placement than having many small linestrings.
For motorways you should use the ref
field to label them while for other roads you should use name
.
Fields
name
The OSM name
value of the highway.
name_en
English name name:en
if available, otherwise name
. This is deprecated and will be removed in a future release in favor of name:en
.
name_de
German name name:de
if available, otherwise name
or name:en
. This is deprecated and will be removed in a future release in favor of name:de
.
ref
The OSM ref
tag of the motorway or its network.
ref_length
Length of the ref
field. Useful for having a shield icon as background for labeling motorways.
network
The network type derived mainly from network
tag of the road.
