Hi All,
IMHO, the first thing you have to think of is: "Is it necessary on a street
map?"
Different people will have different requirements of a map.
Mine are things like public toilets, laundromats, petrol stations, motels,
hotels etc (accomodation) food (shopping centres and take aways etc) post
offices, etc. Red light cameras.....
Others might like picnic grounds, bus stops etc.
But is the outline of a pergola necessary? Or is the outline of a petrol
station necessary. Petrol station yes, outline ... no ...
While I think of it, house numbers in streets should have a lot more priority
than it has.
