That might<br></div><div>become easier to do when we move to vector tiles.<br></div></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><div>Seems not doable with OSM data - this<br></div><div>would require far more road classes<br></div><div>than we use.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Why would we need more road classes for that? This would only be an<br></div><div>issue if the difference between two "adjacent" classes would be so big<br></div><div>that you would jump from "almost none" to "to many to display" in one<br></div><div>step.<br></div></blockquote><div>Exactly.<br></div><div><br></div><div>There are many places where motorway <br></div><div>and trunk is not enough<br></div><div>(as trunks are not used for roads<br></div><div>forming core network but for expressways).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Adding also primary roads pushes it into <br></div><div>unacceptable many roads forming blobs.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><blockquote><div>lane and surface data is also almost<br></div><div>certainly not helpful here even with full<br></div><div>coverage<br></div></blockquote><blockquote><div>And it would result in weird transitions<br></div><div>between countries.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Only if road density changes rapidly at the border, and then we would<br></div><div>just depict the weird transition that exists in reality.<br></div></blockquote><div>In case of using regions not matching countries<br></div><div>you will still have weird transitions on borders of regions.</div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>I think it might be possible to upgrade the "minimum zoom level to<br></div><div>display" on a way if there are no already displayed ways in an area,<br></div><div>maybe only if it connects to an already displayed way (recursive).<br></div><div>That way we would boost the minimum zoom level of e.g.<br></div><div>https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/196509120 to zoom-level 11 or maybe<br></div><div>even 9, even with it being just a low quality dirt track going near an<br></div><div>obscure archaeological site in the middle of nowhere.<br></div></blockquote><div>I had some ideas, none managed to deal<br></div><div>with "weird borders somewhere".</div> </body>
