[ gpsdrive ] Mapnik symbols

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi Ross,
I've just noticed the same thing happening. It looks like the mapnik xml 
file (~/.gpsdrive/osm.xml) uses the parking restriction symbol for 
parking areas - look for the <rule> with the 
<filter>[amenity]='parking'</filter> (search for parking in the file)

in my osm.xml it selects 
..../map-icons/<theme>/vehicle/restrictions/parking.png
and what I think we want is .../map-icons/<theme>/vehicle/parking.png (a 
nice white P on a blue square background)

This may be a mistake in the osm-template.xml

Hope that helps
Mark.
