[OSM-talk] My Vote for most point dense part of OSM
Total trivia. Ever wonder where the most dense mapping in the OSM is? There are a few candidates: Paris is impressive: http://osm.org/go/0BOd2jSc But if you look at how it's built, a lot of points are shared in relations (as it should be, but not winning the most dense award) In Germany there is a very dense field of buildings: http://osm.org/go/0MbEX3rqa-- It's so dense, it doesn't really render well even in the closest tile set. It's a lot of points. It's doesn't win in my books though because it's such a limited area. My vote for most point dense is part of Bakersfield, California: http://osm.org/go/TY4n4MnA My favorite part is how they rendered the street edges into the residential ways. They even include out buildings and trees. Even at the closest zoom, potlatch is all thumbs editing. Wow. Cool maps!

Wow that is impressive. Although they could have saved themselves a little time by using highway=turning_circle for all those cul-de-sacs and not having to render a perfect circle by hand :) On Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 1:11 PM, John Harvey j...@johnharveyphoto.com wrote: Total trivia.

Hi, The area in Berlin you're referring to is 'The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe [...] the central place for remembrance and a place of warning.' http://www.visitberlin.de/english/sightseeing/e_si_sehenswuerdigkeiten-details.php?code=16440 There are quite a few photos on the site (s.a.) - impressive too.

John, impressive looking maps indeed... but: My vote for most point dense is part of Bakersfield, California: If you look at the duplicate node map then it's no surprise they are point dense - if you have two copies of each that's not hard: http://matt.dev.openstreetmap.org/dupe_nodes/?zoom=8lat=36.09253lon=-119.25924layers=BT Yet another import that values visual effects over data usability. One wonders why we're not just dropping JOSM Co. and use the GIMP instead for mapping.
