[Talk-GB] Car boot sale sites

In that case I'd emphasise that "a map" is what most end users would 
call the renders at OpenStreetMap.com, or the visible output of almost 
any other render even if there are 1000s of them. Putting OSM's 
structure to one side for a moment, we can consider how such details 
would be displayed on a paper map, and what they would obscure that 
might be more useful.


My point still holds if you expand it to "Presenting time-varying 
information on a render of a map is always going to be tricky"
