+1 The shapefiles are used in this layer (in inc/ ): http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/inc/layer-shapefiles.xml.inc As you can see the simple boundaries are used only in z1-3 and the populated areas in z3 and 4. There is also a shape called "built-up" used in z8-10 which I am not sure what it is, but it might be also populated areas. Above z10 there is only OSM-Data (and coastlines) used. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
