A few of us were just asking on irc what a US-style tile theme would look like? Naturally, I think highway shields should be included. Lars Ahlzen suggested elevation in feet rather than metres. Ian Dees liked the idea of fewer different colors for roads, blue / motorway, green / trunk, red /

This might be partially a tagging issue but I think it affects rendering too. It would be nice to change the zoom level at which cities/towns are rendered in rural areas. I should not be able to get a map with no place names on it in western Kansas Toby On Sep 12, 2011 6:15 PM, Jeffrey Ollie
