And maybe one could play with the <renderingAttribute name=" polygonMinSizeToDisplay">
I'm not sure whether this is possible currently but if so we could make a switch where the polygon size is connected to the island tag. But in that case we need to determine the size of the Great-Britain polygon and take 50% (or another number?) for the if-then display statement for "small" islands. I guess this requires a feature request as I'm afraid it is currently not possible.But I only gave it a quick look and didn't work on renders for more than 1½ years now. And maybe we have clever people aboard who can think of an elegant solution with the current possibilities. Anyone desperate enough to file this as an issue/feature request? https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues 2016-10-05 9:49 GMT+02:00 Harry van der Wolf <hvdw...@gmail.com>: > It has to do with this tag in the default.render.xml: > https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/ > rendering_styles/default.render.xml#L4615 > > or copied here: <case minzoom="11" maxzoom="16" tag="place" value="island" > nameTag="" textSize="14" textOrder="113"/> > > Because Great Britain is tagged as an island, that line becomes active in > relatively high zoomlevels 11-16.
