Hi, What if the osm website would allow "custom renderings" within predefined zoom levels by default, stitching together existing tiles in that case, which should require much less resources than a complete custom render, even when cutting down to non-tile boundaries.
For current browsers it should be possible to do that with javascript at the browser a well. If we still want to allow the custom zoom rendering, a "fallback" to the current solution might be possible, but a UI that makes clear that some predefined zoom levels are to be preferred might, I guess, solve most of our requests "by accident" as most users probably aren't that specific in the zoom they query for. What do you think about that idea? regards Peter Am 26.01.2015 um 13:40 schrieb Tom Hughes: > On 26/01/15 12:00, Paul Norman wrote: >> On 1/26/2015 2:58 AM, Dave F. wrote: >>> I don't know when it was last reviewed, but does this error have bit >>> of a sensitive trigger?
