One thing that has frustrated me with the current tiling system is that most POIs are only visible if you zoom in all the way, and can only see an area 50 meters or so across. This rather limits their usefulness. It would also help if you could click on a POI, or hover your mouse above it, and see the values of more tags. A restaurant POI, for example, could tell you the hours it is open and what sort of food it serves, assuming these tags had been set.

This would require work, yes. But even the Mapnik rendering has discontinuities between zoom levels: for instance between z8 (no landuse rendering) and z9 (landuses such as forest are rendered) there is a significant step (very visible in France for instance, where we have good landuse data imported from CLC). -- Eric Marsden _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
