I think that's definitely an improvement. It feels more like zooming in on the features, and it both deemphasises the towers at lower zoom levels and better represents multiple towers in close proximity. (I've mapped a lot of places where multiple lines run in parallel with matching sets of towers, but the display at lower zoom levels looks very ragged because of the avoidance of overlapping symbols.) -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE: This Product Contains Minute Electrically Charged Particles Moving at Velocities in Excess of Five Hundred Million Miles Per Hour. -- Journal of Irreproducable Results, v36 #1 ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
