[Suggestion] Rename entire area roads based on highlight

Post by thetapeworm
Many roads in the Leeds area (and I presume others) are set as being in the wrong part of town, smaller suburbs are often mixed up or just called "Leeds". I have been going through changing many of these individually or in sets but wondered if there was an easier way to do this?

What I was thinking is that area managers could have a tool similar to the one used to create POIs which could be used to highlight an area and then rename the area of all roads within it without changing the road name, type or direction.

Still some scope for overlap on the edges and missed areas but possibly useful if navigation allows the option to just take the driver to the centre of a specific town or city.

This option would kick butt in my area. I have entire townships that don't have the township name attached to the roads.

To my knowledge, area selection/mass select is not available. It has been discussed before elsewhere on the forums. Your best bet ATM is to use the select all road between selected segments.

This would be very useful if properly implimented. That way, it could then be possible to "paint" counties, cities, towns, districts etc without confict.

For example, where I live could be tagged with Bishopstoke (district), Eastleigh (town/city), Hampshire (county), England (country), even United Kingdom, (not sure what you call a group of states... :p), Europe (continent) and these tags would not need to be applied in full or even concurrently. It would be a damn sight quicker to do this by area select rather than selecting hundreds of different roads. Also, if labels within each level were discrete, it should then be possible to easily edit overlaps - moving a district boundary for example would then move the corresponding neighbouring village boundary.

Remember, that if you select more than one segment, you can't update road aliases. Only primary name can be changed. Waze is aware of this bug but be careful if you have such roads.
