OSM import

Feature	Status	Comments
Support nodes	OK
Support ways	OK	Nodes as part of ways are typless. So nodes as part of ways do currently not know of their relation to the holding way.
Support areas	OK	See comments on ways
Support relations	OK	We especially support parsing and resolving of multipolygon relations. Ways of same type and with the same values get joined to reduce and simplify relation size.
Support blacklisting of nodes, ways, areas by relations	OK	Currently relations (besides multipolygon relations) do no drop their data members from the database. Thus a way might be drawn twice. Once as way and once as part of the relation.

File format features

Feature	Status	Comments
Platform independent format	OK	We handle byte order, have some optimization for file size (more to do), but file format is not fixed yet.
Improved file loading using memory maped files	OK

Preprocessing

Feature	Status	Comments
Evaluating area tag	OK	There are still some cases where ways are not detected correctly as way or area
Evaluating name tag	OK
Evaluating ref tag	OK
Evaluating oneway tag	OK
Evaluating housenumber tag	OK
Evaluating width tag	OK
Evaluating layer tag	OK
Evaluating bridge and tunnel tag	OK
Evaluating lanes tag	Missing	This however should be easy to implement. It should also be easy to extend the style sheet to draw separating lines based on the data.
Evaluating junction=roundabout	OK	junction=roundabout is evaluated and oneway=true is automatically implied.
Support for resolving multipolygon relation	OK
Merging of adjacent ways with same tag values	OK
Generating reduced detail version of areas for faster drawing in low zoom	OK
Generating reduced detail version of ways for faster drawing in low zoom	OK
Adress lookup	OK	We currently evaluate city nodes, city areas and administrative boundaries to build a hierachical index of named regions down to streets.
Adress lookup	OK	We currently evaluate city nodes, city areas and administrative boundaries to build a hierachical index of named regions down to streets.
Support for restriction relation	Initial	Restriction relations will be evaluated as part of the routing algorithm, we currently have no support for drawing restriction information.
Handle support for water areas, oceans and similar.	OK	We can render coastlines and water areas on any zoom level. There are though some visual artefacts on low zoom if coastline data is not complete
Handle support for world wide country borders.	Missing	We would need to choose a similar aproach as with coastline detection.
