i was thinking about this also (my idea was a separate database), also usable as a kind of legend tile<br>maybe we can use the northpole as testarea ;) or even better the 0/0 lat/lon easy to locate and in the ocean<br><br>

What do you think about this idea :<br>- select two or three small islands somewhere on the planet, but really in the middle of 'nowhere', means no humans, no constructions, absolutely nothing.<br>- call these islands 'mapnik', 'osmarender', etc...<br>
- add them in a dedicated wikipage with appropriate links to point them on the browser<br>- then put as much as you want existing nodes, ways, relations and tag them as specified as the 'recommended by the map features' and supported by this renderer<br>
<br>e.g. intersections, with bridges, tunnels or directly connected; multipolygons relations; buildings; places; admin_levels; large rivers; canal; etc...<br><br>This would :<br>- give an idea for beginners how the tags are rendered at the different zoom levels directly on the maps<br>
- show what is currently supported by the current rendering softwares.<br>- avoid that many people perform the same kind of tests locally<br>- be used as a test area for renderers developers<br><span class="sg"><br>Pieren<br>
