<tt><font size="2">I wonder what the intent of the user was? It appears to me that they were</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">attempting to create a certain type of map by altering the data. Here on</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">the list we would argue that the issue the user is tackling is a rendering</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">issue, not a data issue.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">Is this a clue to a different way of rendering? In the same way that</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">streetmap and cyclemap have the same data but produce different looking</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">maps?</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">Perhaps a renderer could make a weddingmap :-D</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">It could work by having the user center the map on their one point of</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">interest, and then the rendering process would have high detail around</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">that center point, but have the detail drop off successively the greater</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">the distance from the center point. So minor streets around the wedding</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">venue would be rendered because that is useful for navigation and</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">parking. But minor streets further away from the venue would not be</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">rendered, because the intent is to highlight only the chosen point of</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">interest and major transportation routes to that point.</font></tt><br>
