<div dir="ltr">I believe when it's referred to as the the "reference map" people are just commenting how it's (understandably) become the De Facto standard.<div>It's on the <a href="http://osm.org">osm.org</a> homepage and people go there and click "edit" to change the map. When they click "view" they expect/want to see their changes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For a short time the layer names were displayed as buttons on the map. With the big redesign/rebuild the buttons are now hidden under an unlabelled icon and not the first item in the menu. I think that had been helping people understand the concept of different maps/layers.</div>

<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div>during the latest discussion-wave related to the default rendering stiles someone (I think Peter K.) used the notion "reference map" for the OSM Slippymap. If this is so, I need some help to understand - in what sense is this map the OSM reference map?</div>
<div>1. Is this the most correct map (the decoration/styling is irrelevant) that is possible to be produced/constructed using the OSM source data? or</div><div>2. Is this a map that perfectly reflects the OSM source data-set as is, with all logical and other errors?</div>
<div>The question may sound banal but it is essential to many mappers that are extensive users of the OSM source data. These mappers, of course, compare their maps with other's especially with the OSM "reference map".</div>
<div>Thanks, Sandor.</div></div>
