[OSM-talk] Move the Map

[Richard Mann]

 "We're about data" - the map IS the data. I defy anyone to illustrate more
data in any other way.

Maybe the map should try to show more of the data (render the lines narrow
so more shows up, maybe with names appearing at only higher zooms) rather
than the default being an all-purpose street map. But hey, like it's called
openstreetmap, so maybe starting with a street map isn't a bad idea.

I'd like the layers tab to be a sequence of pictograms always showing (a
pedestrian, a cyclist, a bus, a car), with the plus just there for 2nd-level
investigation. If that gave you cascade access to alternative renderings
(slippys and one-offs) that'd be a bonus.

I'd also like to be able to give a URL that had a city-name in it rather
than a umpteen-decimal lat/lon.
