One aspect of the map that is not a uniquely Canadian problem, but is
perhaps more significant here than in other places is how temporal
objects spaces should be handled. Many important aspects of mappable
life change distinctly between summer winter - ice rinks,
recreational trails, usability

Then with CanVec import data, you get a highway number on every
segment. CanVec data splits ways at each intersection, no

Just brain-storming, so let's have suggestions without debate for now.
What should the OSM data look like when styled for Canadians? Just

- highway marker shields like 401, highway of heroes, Yellowhead, etc.
- fewer road colors.
- render cues

prominently. Most of the web maps are too auto-centric. How about the Trans

I agree with most of these suggestions. OSM should render in a manner
