Hi Ed,<br><br>It is usually not appropriate to add tags or to adjust the data to fix rendering problems. This is the problem of the renderer tool itself and not of the data. In this case, the renderer should be able to recognize that there are only two POIs in an area and so should show them in lower zoom levels. But as far as I know, no renderer (Mapnik, Osmarender, etc.) is sophisticated enough yet for this.<br>
<br>One possible thing you can do data-wise is to tag the resort as a landuse=commercial area (AOI?) even approximately instead of just as a POI. The current renderers are able to show areas and even display the name if the area is big enough.<br>

Hello Guys,<br><br>Is there a way, or is there a tag or property that I can use so that certain POIs (usually Resorts in my case siempre) can appear at lower zoom levels instead of just zoom = 17? There are cases kasi na there are only one or two resorts in a long stretch of beach. When zoomed out (to appreciate the vicinity), the resort would not appear. and then when zoomed in to see the resort, the vicinity can no longer be appreciated. <br>
<br>here is an example ...<br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=13.8598&lon=121.509&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=13.8598&lon=121.509&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF</a> Try zooming in to zoom=17 where the resorts will start to appear. By then the "vicinity orientation" is lost.<br>
<br>Is there a tag or property that can dictate zoom level visibility of the POI? This is usually the case in provincial areas where POIs are way far apart. <br clear="all"><br>thanks!,<br>ed<br><font color="#888888"><br>
