Because mapnik can't handle that in a nice fashion, maybe showing everything at high zoom level, but even that may clutter the map (perhaps?). What we want is for mapnik to handle different amount of node/label density without having to resort to shutting of rendering this or that label completely. I have this problem for the Swedish country side. we have so much land and so little mapped things that the UK created mapnik rules used for Europe are no good. Europe at zoom6 http://osm.org/go/0DxrS-- Northern Scandinavia at zoom6 http://osm.org/go/01QLb-- The same problem exists in Thailand according to user Buadhai: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Buadhai/diary/8208 -- /emj _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
