I think it's beautiful! The only thing that I don't understand is the jump of administrative borders rendering around zoom 4-5, on lowest zooms seems a physical map (borders are nearly invisibile) then suddenly become thicker. I have this impression more on Europe where's a lot of landuse. Also when appear the city labels for the first zoom, the font is the same size as the countries labels.. > > Bye > Frederik > > -- > Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" > > ______________________________**_________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.**org/listinfo/talk<http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk> >
