Text labels seem to have problems with the tiled slippy map interface.
Pan up a bit from the default location, and look at the tile with the
pub (nice beer there, but the food can take ages to come) in Hammer
Vale. It looks like you need to look for text points of interest to the
left of / above the bounding box for the current tile, to make sure that
you render that in as well (assuming text is rendered to the bottom
right of a point of interest)
Also, the A3 seems to disappear in the tile north of Hammer Vale (with
the car park on it)
It is very nice to see all those labels and tags used for something nice.
