I looked at several cities at the Tangram map. I like especially Crosshatch style, - very impressive. It takes a split second to find say the Eiffel Tower on the Tangram map: https://tangrams.github.io/carousel/?crosshatch#16/48.8616/2.3082 and in general to get a layout of a place recognizable later on the ground via these tall reference points.
To be clear, styles other than the one I linked are not by me and unrelated to my style. They use the same client-side rendering engine, but that's it.
Since Tangram is "drawing vector tiles live in a web browser" is it possible to make a comprehensive selection of a language?
MVT, the tile format I'm using, and Mapnik, the vector tile generator do not have a suitable datatype for names in an arbitrary list of languages: https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec/issues/75. TopoJSON might be more flexable but I haven't considered it.
One more thing, for some reason the search of the Tangram map does not find Odessa, Ukraine.
Tangram doesn't have a search functionality, what's on that page is provided by some geocoding provider. It's not my page so I don't know what it's using, but given Tangram is developed by Mapzen, it's probably Mapzen's geocoder.
