I was thinking about hillshading on the osm-carto as part of the low
zoom improvement process. The idea was quickly rejected:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2931
but I wanted to look deeper and ask about your experiences with
hillshading on the maps using OSM data (like for example cycling layer
on OSM.org):
1. What kind of hillshading data is used and what is the quality on low,
middle and high zoom levels (SRTM-based NaturalEarth maybe - general or
manually edited)?
2. Did you find any problems with hillshading (like peak or saddle being
placed differently than shading suggests)?
3. What do you think about using OSM hillshading "fork" which could be
editable somehow to follow OSM data (of course it doesn't belong to OSM
database, since it's a raster data, not a vector one)?
