That's not necessarily true. According to CARTOGRAPHY.md, the purposes of the default layer are: - It's the primary feedback mechanism for mappers to validate their edits - so detail is useful - It's a major part of the impression visitors to osm.org receive - so clear design is useful - It's an examplar stylesheet for rendering OSM data - so easy customisation is useful That said, as the openstreetmap-carto is a one-size-fits all map, there are often better maps for specific situations. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
