I'll provide visual examples of the problems that the new colour scheme creates in rural areas. It's the same with Bing and Google, but osm's 'old' style while not perfect did at least allow the tertiary roads which around this neck of the woods provide the key fast routes to be distinguished. I worked through to 5:30am and got a replacement for the embed facility working into the French tile server and I can replace that with my own server once it's updating reliably. The French tiles have provided a couple of bonuses so on my own roadmap are working in the right direction. http://goodflexrubber.com/wiki/Home+Block+10 is 90% there Not quite sure what Bing is up to. get the idea of the spooky stile for halloween but the purple colouring for roads? Anyway ... got to get out to site to fix another bloody sick M$ machine :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
