My though process behind the criteria suggestion was that we should all be using the same process when assessing if each type should be mapped or not mapped to limit the discussion after compiling the input.


My 2¢ on each type:

• 1 Transportation
  • 1.1 Gas Station – Mapped, fence line including parking lot
    1.2 Toll booth – Not mapped
    1.3 Terminal – Define?
    1.4 Airport – Mapped, fence line including runways & buildings & adjacent parking lots. Other parking lots as separate Landmark
    1.5 Train station – Mapped, fence line including buildings & adjacent parking lots
    1.6 Bus Station / Bus Terminal – Mapped, fence line including buildings & adjacent parking lots
    1.7 Sea Port – Not mapped
    1.8 Parking Lot – Commuter lots mapped. Private business lots not mapped. Pay parking lots & garages mapped. Fence line area, parking lot road segment to main road
    1.9 Junction/Interchange - Should test this, have read about success stories elsewhere. Nav directions at junctions where you have to keep to a specific lane, (route 7N & 84E) may be improved
    1.10 Bridge – Mapped if named
    1.11 Tunnel – Mapped if named
    1.12 Subway station – NA for CT?
    1.13 Ferry lane – Define?
    1.14 Car Rental – Not mapped
    1.15 Garage – Not mapped. Paid/Public parking garage under Parking Lot category

When using autozoom by distance, they are not visible at the widest zoom, but they do appear as the client zooms in as you approach your next turn.

In my opinion they also provide a frame of reference when you manually pan the map, look at search results, see traffic pop-ups when you are stopped, approach a limited access highway from surface streets, etc.

How would this be mapped, exactly? For example, how would the I-91/I-95 interchange be marked? If you could, mark it on the editor, take a screenshot, then delete the mark. Post the screenshot here?

I'm thinking it would be too intrusive and clutter surrounding streets.

In the editor look for Knoxville, TN or Nashville, TN. Follow I-40 between those two cities to see examples at each and every exit including splits with other Interstates. I posted screen shots from the client on the forum before, but right now I can't find that topic
