One more thing to consider: generalisation is one of the most important things for cartography, but it is also extremely important for vector tiles. 2-3 years ago we've played with government data and it produced huge (up to 4MB) vector tiles (pbf) for middle scales (zoom 8-12). Browsers (especially mobile ones) were struggling with that amount of data. Even moderate generalisation reduced the amount of data to 0,5M. It is something which is currently brushed under the carpet as using raster will never produce a tile that large. What I'm saying here is that generalisation (the real one, not DP) will have to be done anyways as OSM community is starting to see the disadvantages of legacy raster maps and is getting used to the idea of vector maps (for the client, not between servers).

Strange. Firefox on linux is my primary browser, it is the way I always use/test *.openmap.lt... _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
