Can mapnik automatically render names for smaller towns in lower zoom levels if there is room for the labels? Or should we have a "mapnik_zoom_level=6" tag? This is a problem for the country side were you have lots of room to render names, but not that many big names to render. (Especially Sweden[1]) I could only find one ticket related to this: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/696 [1] Germany 230 hab/km^2 Sweden 21hab/km^2, but a large part of the country side is more in the 6-10 hab/km^2 range.. Maybe why people buy vacation houses here. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
