I see that it's on a tile boundary, therefore I reckon [1] it's due to colour compression. One of the utilities in the rendering toolchain tries to minimize the number of colours used, in order to make the tiles smaller. Usually it's only anti-aliasing that gets affected, so it's hardly noticeable. But when there's two "main" colours that are quite similar, occasionally it thinks that they can both be changed to the same colour. > How can it be fixed? If colour compression is turned off, then tilesizes grow greatly. It's turned off for the cycle map, and that's one of the reasons the tiles are so much bigger. What would be neat is if the colour compressor could be passed a list of "main" colours that it won't optimise away, but that's development work for someone :-) Cheers, Andy [1] probably - I could be completely wrong though :-) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
