I've confirmed that it renders fine around Wivenhoe/Alresford, but is a bit slow as you say. I do appreciate being able to tell the rights of way from normal footpaths etc (though there is no legend?).
Few questions: - I know this is an expansion, but how often does it update? (I've added some paths/RoW quite recently and they've not appeared yet) - Is it feasible to start rendering surrounding tiles "just in case", once the current one(s) are done? - There appear to be blue horizontal/vertical lines on the map; are these artifacts of the rendering or intentional? They can look a bit like water here, especially near coastlines where there may already be ditches, etc nearby. Note that I've not played with the features other than the base map yet.
