Author: Hellstorm Is there any reaction here? Any hope that this will be implemented? I want to stress the importance of this for OSM in Japan and Korea. Please support this. Thanks. |

Author: Ldp Thinking of Western usage, street names should have precedence over junction names. How is this in Japanese usage? |

Author: gs25 I have mapped a lot in Korea, and I have shown OSM to many Koreans. Invariably, when they want to orient themselves with the map they look for named junctions that they know. Please implement this feature. The suggestion of rendering name=* when junction=yes can be improved by rendering name=* when junction is not 'no', but I'd be happy to have it only when junction=yes. |

Author: sommerluk I vote also for this. In Ivory Coast, most streets dont have names. People orient themself with the name of crossroads. This should be rendered somehow. |

Author: sommerluk To be a little bit more detailed: Crossroad names help to orient yourself in the local aerea. In my humble opinion the should be rendert starting with the same zoom level when residential highways are rendered with names. |

In Japan and Korea, crossroads/junctions instead of streets have names. These are currently not displayed on osm.org, with the consequence that it is next to impossible to get an orientation on the OSM map in these areas.
Based on the osm-talk list, the following solution was developed:
junction=yes and[[BR]]
name=*
should be rendered in a rectangular box above the node. A google maps example is attached.
