My observation is often the actual design is more or less the other way round, the highest zoom levels are mostly designed to be useful, at least in the urban environment. On intermediate scales the map style is fairly selective showing only certain things sometimes based on a somewhat arbitrary selection leading people to frequently apply tags specifically to make elements show up. At the same time it gives fairly little orientation for the map user. And the lowest zoom levels are not given much consideration at all, making them neither useful for the map user nor for the mapper. This is of course a subjective impression - it might appear quite differently for others. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
