Rendering is another area.

My view: the render has to decide what is more 'important' - land cover or land use and then how to each group.

I note how the land use military is mapped - strips so the land cover under it could be seen. If all land use were map similarity then that could work.

Alternatively land cover could be represented as a symbol like tree areas symbol. Loose the background colours for all land covers and use symbols.
Land uses would then be solid covers. Does not work for wwater so I think this would lead to more problems.

I think I prefer the land use mapped as less 'important' - thus land cover gets solid colours...

Whatever the renders decide we should map what is there, residential with or without trees, grass, flowers, scrub, whatever.
