Interesting in any case. .. And it should be easy to adjust the "denseness" of the mapping on the tiles vs latitude. .. Possible to see such update (if not already done)? Cheers, -Jaakko --Original Message-- From: Christoph Hormann To: talk@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [OSM-

Re: [OSM-talk] List: Densely Mapped Areas

By the way you do realize that Cameroon and other equatorial areas have a significant advantage to higher latitudes in this measurement. So it might be prudent to not only say 'FSVO mapped' but also 'FSVO densely'. In a quick estimate the area scale ratio between Cameroon and France is abou

Re: [OSM-talk] List: Densely Mapped Areas

Since the list provided ranks the metatiles in terms of the number of nodes, It might be better to also normalize the number of nodes with the area covered by the z16 metatile. A tile far from the equator covers more area than a tile near the equator. For example, a z16 tile in Helsinki covers arou

Re: [OSM-talk] List: Densely Mapped Areas

I have been in Cameroon with the EUROSHA hot volunteers. There was someone from Cameroon (but living in France) that imported lots of data, but, because of this people are very impressed with OSM over there and now they are starting to really build their community: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wi
