OpenStreetMap Notes
  • "I don't know how to (or if it is even possible) make the elevators connected properly with the other paths. the internal structure has 3 levels: the firts is a supermarket, the second has some shops and the third is actually La Centrale Gourmet, the restaurant. is it possible to show different layers based on the user's choice? I'd like to map the entire hospital too"
