[OSM-dev] Osmarender and Unknown Type

[Andrew Ayre]

Hi, I'm using OSM in a project and I *much* prefer the look of the 
Osmarender tiles over the Mapnik tiles, especially the extra detail when 
zoomed out.

However, if I go to www.openstreetmap.org and zoom in to Arizona blue 
tiles with "Unknown Type" appear. In fact I see this a lot. I've noticed 
that these blue tiles have been around on the Osmarender maps for months.

I understand that this means those tiles at those zoom levels have not 
been generated, but what I don't understand is how this can be. What I 
mean is that there must be a lot of people working on Osmarender and 
tiles at home and putting in a lot of effort, but it seems that essentially 
the tileset is partially useless if it cannot be viewed at all zoom levels.

So I think I am missing something, but what is it?

Thanks, Andy
