> What do you guys think? > It's non trivial to do it this way, but:
- Define a relationship between zoom level and number of ways/nodes within the bounding box - Sort the ways in a weighted fashion - roads first, land boundaries second, etc - Zoom level max, with 10 nodes to render: well, that should likely render everything - Zoom level max - 1 with 1 billion nodes to render - roads only To actually set up the balance between zoom and what to render would be hard, but I think that's a better approach than render hints. Alternatively, after implementing it, you could add a 'render weighting/interest' attribute to a lot of ways, which would be *like* a render hint but also suitable for other purposes - ie: routing or search.
