This notification is not for people who are designing their own maps, but for users of the CartoCSS style called "Openstreetmap-carto" which is hosted on github. This is the style that is used by the OSM foundation servers to display the "standard" map layer that you see on openstreetmap.org, and it's designed to be rendered as a raster map, currently. You can see the change planned here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3694 > Using generalized version of water polygons without synchronization with > other object classes (lakes, rivers, forests...) causes serious logical and > aesthetic cartographic problems. Are you talking about the use of simplified-water-polygons-complete-3857 and simplified-land-polygons-complete-3857 from openstreetmapdata.com? These files are supposed to look identical to the full-data versions when rendered at low zoom. If you think they have problems, please open an issue on github so that we can discuss this at the proper place: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/new There are also generalized coastlines and shapefiles available at http://openstreetmapdata.com/data/generalized-coastlines however these are not currently used by the Openstreetmap-carto stylesheet. You could also email Jochen and Christoph, the creators of the shapefiles, directly at [email protected] if you has specific technical suggestions. -Joseph _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
