Hi all,
We are pleased to announce that a new web map based on OSM data has just
been published. You can see it on http://openmapsurfer.uni-hd.de/ (OSM
Roads (New) layer).
One thing that greatly distinguishes it from other online maps is the
quality of map lettering.
We, the researchers the researchers at GIScience Research Group
<http://giscience.uni-hd.de/> at Heidelberg University, have elaborated
a comprehensive multi-criteria model for
high cartographic quality label placement and implemented it on top of a
toolkit for publishing spatial data to the web.
We applied this model to render a map for the globe on lower zoom levels
(z2-z12).
More information about improvements and updates you can find on our Blog
page <http://giscienceblog.uni-hd.de/>.
PS: Please, take into account that the tile cache for zoom levels
greater than z12 is empty.
All the best,
Maxim Rylov
