[Tagging] Basic cartography features missing, why?

[Anders Torger]

Sorry for replying to myself again, but I realized the link I shared was 
not a true example, although the maps I linked to are built to look 
similar to vector data they are delivered as png tiles, and least on my 
computer (some services switch automatically between pixel/vector).

This link (of another Swedish provider) should lead to a true vector map 
(which runs superduperslow on my old computer):

It's using the same government data source as the eniro website, but 
unfortunately this one only has Sweden, not Norway and Finland.

Interestingly enough it has another type of label algorithm that works 
worse than the old pixel map in rural areas (ie you need to zoom more 
than usual to see names). However this vector technology and 
presentation is very newly introduced so I expect it to be refined over 
the coming years. Personally I prefer the pixel renderings still as 
vector is a bit slow on many computers. But it's the future....
