[OSM-talk] Square gridlines appeared on slippy map

2009-03-26 Thread Ed Avis
On the OSM front page the map now has what look like square gridlines, making
Greenland look made out of graph paper.  Is this a permanent change?

The pattern of the grid is square throughout the map, which doesn't match the
Mercator projection, so what are they intended to show?

No. It is what happens if you generate the coastline shapefiles with the
default parameters. I have fixed it to use the larger overlap but it
might take a couple of days for them to re-render.
