[OSM-dev] Variable scale maps

[Kelly Jones]

Most maps of small areas have a constant scale: eg: 100 pixels = 1 mile.

Has anyone created maps w/ variable scales?

An example would be: 100 pixels = 1 mile at the edge of the map, but
100 pixels = 100 feet at the center of the map.

This would be useful for "driving directions" type maps, where small
streets close to the destination are more important than large streets
far away from the destination
